Project Highlights:
-
A drill-ready project in a world-class silver district where over 90 mines have operated since the first major lead-zinc-silver discovery was staked in 1884.
-
Ideally situated approximately two kilometres (km) south of Interstate 90 Freeway and the town of Smelterville, the Project features power, water, year-round access to local infrastructure and a workforce skilled in exploration and mining.
-
The Project comprises two contiguous patented lode claim groups - Government Gulch (403 acres) and Page Mine (802 acres) - that consolidate the western end of the Silver Valley mining corridor under a single operator for the first time.
-
The land package covers six historic mines with the option to acquire ownership of the Project's mineral rights, which are not currently subject to any royalties.
-
Multiple exploration targets developed over the last two years using modern exploration techniques for the first time.
-
Primary target areas are up- and down-plunge from historic underground mining, along strike where ground IP surveys identify anomalies, and where surface trenching identified near surface mineralization.
-
Additional exploration targets have been identified away from historic mine infrastructure, using soil geochemical data, mapping, and ground IP survey data.
-
The Project borders the Bunker Hill mine that is on track to restart mining in Q4 2024.
