Lodestar Project
Exploration program 100% funded by Newmont
Immediately adjacent to Hecla’s past-producing high-grade Aurora mine
Located 10 kilometres north of Headwater’s Spring Peak project, which hosts two recent high-grade discoveries by Headwater
Contains silica sinter and other analogous geologic features to Spring Peak, suggesting the potential for preserved high-grade mineralization at depth
Epithermal alteration open along strike with high-grade vein potential untested by shallow historic drilling
Prominent silicified ridgeline contains anomalous high-level epithermal pathfinder element geochemistry
Thick silica sinter accumulation indicates the system is fully preserved
Alteration associated with the main structural zone projects under shallow cover and remains untested below the projected boiling zone at depth
Currently scheduled to begin in the fall of 2024 pending the receipt of permits
2024 exploration activities to include:
- Test for high-grade precious metal deposits in steeply dipping feeder structures under the Zodiac sinter target.
- Scout drill holes are planned to test under-cover geophysical targets adjacent to the Zodiac target.
