| Target Commodity: | Cu(-Mo); Au |
| Partnership Status: | Available |
| Land Position: | 3,500 acres; 175 unpatented lode mining claims |
| Property Location: | southern Battle Mountain-Eureka Mineral Belt, Eureka County, Nevada, east flank of the Roberts Mountains |
- Untested porphyry copper target within the Battle Mountain-Eureka trend. 12 km north of General Moly's Mount Hope porphyry Mo deposit.
- High grade Cu+Mo+Ag replacement mineralization from outcrop and prospect pit samples (up to 6.9% Cu; 537 ppm Mo; 14 ppm Ag) along a 1.3 km long horst block of Upper Paleozoic limestone in a complex faulted range-front margin setting. Several other limestone blocks are exposed 1-2 km south of the central Cu zone. Mineralization interpreted to be represent peripheral/distal base metal mineralization associated with porphyry system coincident with a large >2 km diameter buried magnetic anomaly.
- Potential for Carlin-type disseminated Au in favorable Paleozoic limestone units beneath shallow cover on large portion of the claim block.
- Limited past exploration drilling (2-4 drill holes) on the central Cu zone. No drilling for porphyry target or buried lower-plate carbonate-hosted Au targets.
