MISSOULA - Dutch Gold Resources Inc. of Atlanta says its Basin Gulch project 16 miles west of Philipsburg could produce more than $3 billion in gold.

The company in a news release aimed at bringing in investors says it has found a large open-ended gold and silver system within two miles of Rock Creek in Granite County.

Company officials say in the release issued late last month that they expect to file preliminary applications with the Montana Department of Environmental Quality this month as part of the process to start mining the gold.

The company also says it has filed forms with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to notify investors.
