-
Mining-friendly region with strong mining culture
-
Nevada ranked #1 in the world for mining investment attractiveness (Fraser Institute, 2022 Global review)
-
Logistically simple, low-cost exploration with a highly experienced local team in place
-
One of the highest gold endowments on the planet: Annually Nevada produces approximately 84% of all gold in the US or approximately 5% of the world’s annual production (USGS 2019 & World Gold Council 2019)
-
Secure land tenure and stable political framework with a clear and rapid permitting process

Northern Nevada, Western Idaho and Eastern Oregon in particular offer high-quality greenfield opportunities in a business-friendly environment
“Bonanza” epithermal vein deposits are 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 a decision point as quickly and cost-effectively as possible
Be opportunistic – Actively seeking partners to acquire or fund non-core projects
