– District scale 51-square-kilometer land package in the highly regarded Walker Lane district in Nevada, one of the world’s top regions for exploration and development.
– Gold and silver mineral inventory remains open and unconstrained by both drilling and geological factors. The updated Mineral Resource Estimate significantly increased project-wide pit constrained resources and demonstrated potential for further resource growth.
– Historic mining underscores the potential for massive upside.
