• One of the largest gold producing districts in the world
• Low political risk
• Strong push for junior mineral exploration in the area due to major gold producers aptitude to acquire land/projects along mineralized trend
• Ranked 1st out of 83 jurisdictions in Fraser Institute’s 2018 Worldwide Survey of Mining Companies for Investment Attractiveness
Project within the Elko Mining District of Nevada, near larger of cities of Carlin and Elko Two major gold trends in the district
• Carlin Trend World class prolific area of Carlin Type (Sediment hosted) gold systems, with multiple mines having indicated resources of +20M oz of Au
• Midas Trend Epithermal high grade gold with low sulfidation
• Rimrock Project is a multi-target gold/silver system, with potential for shallow epithermal systems and deeper Carlin Type deposits
• Epithermal systems (Hollister Style) are low sulfidation, high grade gold deposits, which are fault bounded in the upper geological sequences, with gold being piped up to the surface alongside mercury
• Carlin Deposits are formed alongside the mudstone formation, surrounding the faults which have allowed for the extensive hydrothermal circulation
Rimrock Property proximal to previously operating mines
• Hollister Mine (2 Million Oz of high grade gold)
• Midas Mine (3 million Oz of high grade gold and 25 million oz of silver)
Dilation Target
• ”Rhombochasm” Dilation Zone
• Pipe-like structural zone interpreted to lie alongside major fault, with intersection of a small historic mercury mine
• Mineralization proven in the shallow subsurface occurring in an epithermal system similar to Midas/Hollister mines
Ivanhoe Creek Target
• Geophysically identified domal uplift of the Paleozoic Basement
• Favourable for formation of Carlin type deposits
• Geophysical defined Open Pit/Underground Midas-style gold & silver targets at surface and at depth
• Several smaller regional faults within overall zone could host Midas-style gold-silver mineralization
• Overall structural fault corridor measures approximately 100m wide and 2000m long, with geophysical anomalies favourable for hosting mineralization
• Within large scale NW-SE Carlin Trend
• Domed anticlinal Paleozoic rocks outcropping at surface
• Geochemical data from drill core samples display enrichment in tungsten associated with known gold/ silver mineralization, suggesting a Carlin Deposit feeder system at depth
• Geophysical data from the Ivanhoe Creek Area, identifying geological structures of interest, including uplifted basement block suggesting possibility for a Carlin deposit at depth
• Drilling within target zone assayed up to 262 g/t silver and 1500 g/t tungsten
