Timberline Resources Corporation has taken the complementary businesses of mining services and mineral exploration and combined them into a unique, forward-thinking investment vehicle that provides investors exposure to both the “picks and shovels” and “blue sky” aspects of the mining industry.

Timberline has contract drilling subsidiaries in the western United States and Mexico and an exploration division focused on high-potential, district-scale gold projects.  With its anticipated acquisition of a premier underground mine contractor, Small Mine Development, Timberline will strengthen its niche position as an emerging, vertically-integrated resource company.  Timberline has applied for an American Stock Exchange listing and trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “TBLC”.
