WILD HORSE property, Northern Nevada Rift

The WILD HORSE property: a Midas-style gold-silver target

Cornucopia Mining District, Elko County, Nevada, USA

The Wild Horse property comprises one contiguous claim block of 22 unpatented lode mining claims in the Cornucopia Mining District, Elko County, Nevada, U.S.A.  The claims total 440 acres and are located 60 miles north-northwest of Elko, NV.

The principal target on the Wild Horse property is a low-sulfidation epithermal gold-silver deposit, typically found primarily as quartz-adularia-calcite veins in volcanic rock.

From 1984 through 1989, at least four mineral exploration companies (Superior Oil, Placid Oil, Freeport, and Barrick) carried out work programs on and around the current property, which included 179 soil samples, 360 rock samples, 7,360 feet of reverse circulation drilling, and 5 miles of IP geophysical surveys. 

Reported gold assays from drill samples ranged from 0.01 opt (0.343 g/t) over 15 feet (4.5 meters) to 0.16 opt (5.486 g/t) over 5 feet (1.5 meters). Reported silver assays ranged from 0.326 opt (11.177 g/t) over 5 feet (1.5 meters) to 1.618 opt (55.474 g/t) over 10 feet (3 meters).

The recommended exploration program consists of geophysical and possibly geochemical ground work to define drill locations, followed by core drilling to test targets at depth.

Geophysical and geochemical work is budgeted at US$114,000. Core drilling is budgeted at a minimum of US$603,000.  For more detail, please see the latest technical report, dated Nov 2006.

The WILD HORSE property is available for option.
