“Bonanza” epithermal vein deposits among the highest-grade and most profitable gold deposits in the world
Examples in the Western USA:
-
Midas
-
Sleeper
-
Aurora
-
Comstock
Historic exploration has been largely focused on near-surface bulk tonnage targets
Untested vein targets often remain below 150 m in many preserved epithermal systems
“Grade is King” High-grade epithermal vein focus:
Boots on the ground direct targeting using proven geologic methods
Identify and acquire 100%-owned projects, with little or no royalty burden, using quality geoscience
Drill early – Bring to decision point as quickly and cost-effectively as possible
Be opportunistic – Actively seeking partners to acquire or fund non-core projects
