Mineral Hill, Wyoming
| Target Commodity: |  | Cu-Au-Ag |
| Partnership Status: | | Golden Predator lease/option agreement |
| Land Position: | | ~1,117 acres; 60 U.S. unpatented lode mining claims (additional claims subject to pooling agreement with neighboring claimant not included) |
| Property Location: | | Mineral Hill/Hurricane gold mining district; Black Hills; Crook County, Wyoming |
- Targets are epithermal-style gold deposits and porphyry copper-gold mineralization associated with a Eocene-aged alkaline igneous complex
- District mineralization provides evidence for multiple magmatic events, including the emplacement of a prominent central breccia pipe
- Intense hydrothermal alteration developed in portions of igneous complex along with gold-bearing quartz veins
- Placer gold deposits broadly developed in and around the Mineral Hill intrusive complex, and many historic mines and prospects are distributed throughout the district
- Drilling by BCE in late 2007 intercepted porphyry-style copper-gold mineralization in an area of stockwork K-silicate and quartz-sulfide veins
- Additional drilling slated for 2009 to better define zones of copper-gold mineralization
