Jake Creek Project
Ownership:
100%-owned, 189 unpatented lode mining claims covering 1,535 hectares on BLM land
Location:
Humboldt County, Nevada, just 8 km east of Nevada Gold Mines’ Turquoise Ridge Complex
Highlights:
- Located on the western margin of the prolific Northern Nevada Rift.
- Broad zone of strongly anomalous gold mineralization and localized high-grade gold in historic drilling, including 11.3 g/t Au over 1.52 m within 46.73 m grading 0.98 g/t Au.
- Alteration style documented in historic drilling strongly indicates a robust low-sulfidation epithermal system.
- Drill-ready project with a substantial historical dataset:
- Surface geochemistry
- Geophysics
- Drill logs and assay data
- 2025 Headwater exploration plan includes geologic mapping and geophysics to refine drill targeting models.

Exploration at Jake Creek has historically focused on Carlin-type gold targets, driven by its proximity to the Twin Creeks Mine just 8 km to the west (20 Moz Au M&I with 23 Moz Au past production2).
Evolving Gold Corp. 2010-2011 campaign included 13 RC drill holes totaling approximately 4,000 metres.
Headwater has acquired a substantial historical dataset with the project, including surface geochemistry (1,006 ionic leach samples), geophysics (IP/resistivity, gravity, magnetics), and digitized drill logs and assays.
