(OTCQB: CGCC) (The company) a gold exploration company with substantial claims in a region of Nevada experiencing vast new gold discoveries, completes its relocation and consolidation to the US and establishes its operational management office in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Continuing its focus to streamline internal operations to optimize value of its substantial Nevada mineral holdings, following the completed transfer of the executive office to Las Vegas, Nevada, the company is now relocating its operational headquarters to Salt Lake City for proximity and easy reach of its claims in the Spruce Ridge - Long Canyon Trend across the state line in Nevada.

Mr. Blewett remains in the position of the Acting Secretary as a Director and Officer until a new Secretary is appointed.

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Stephen M. Studdert to the position of President and Chief Executive Officer of the company.
