Objectives

DIR’s general objective is to benefit its shareholders, employees, consultants, business partners, and human society at large, by conducting cogent mineral exploration, especially that leading to the development of metal ore deposits that require relatively little energy to mine and mill, and involve little or no surface or other environmental impact. Both Arizona collapse breccia pipe uranium and western US bonanza gold vein ore deposits, exploration targets of primary interest to DIR, are low production cost mineral deposits that fit this bill.

"By conducting cogent mineral exploration” means that DIR strives to:

1. Implement exploration work based on theory and hypotheses demonstrably related to the deposit type sought

2. Maximize its use of techniques and personnel with highest possible benefit-cost ratios

3. Find and pursue opportunities overlooked by its rivals.

"To benefit its shareholders, employees, consultants, business partners, and human society at large” means that DIR does NOT hold that the exploration and mining business is, by intrinsic nature, a “zero sum” industry.
