- Located in district of combined production and reserves of approximately 5.5 million ounces of gold with substantial silver, lead and zinc
- Two styles of mineralization dominant in district: (1) polymetallic (± gold) system(s) developed in skarn and replacement bodies adjacent to early Cretaceous igneous intrusions, and (2) younger Carlin-style mineralization that overprints the older polymetallic mineralization
- Extensive research by BCE geologists has constrained petrologic, geochemical, and structural control on spatial distribution of both mineralization types; both projected within BCE land position
