About the Excelsior Springs Property
The Excelsior Springs Gold Prospect, including the Buster Mine, is located in westcentral Esmeralda County, Nevada approximately 50 miles WSW of the Goldfield District which has a past production of +10 Million ounces gold, The Tonopah District, with a past production of 2 Million ounces gold and 100 Million ounces silver, lies approximately 65 miles to the northeast.
The property lies within the Walker Lane, a zone of regional-scale, northwest-trending, strike-slip faulting, which hosts a significant number of precious metal deposits. The Buster mine, the main past producing mine located on the patented claims, has past production estimated at 18,000 tons at 1.2 opt gold. The workings are still accessible through the Buster Shaft which is 235 ft. deep.
In the past, a number of exploration companies have conducted drilling programs on the property, and the results have begun to define an extensive zone of gold mineralization. Drilling around the Buster and Upper shafts has outlined the Buster mineralized zone approximately 1,000 feet-long and 200 feet-wide.
The NI 43-101 report on Excelsior concludes that "based on the results of previous drilling programs, the Excelsior Springs property should be considered an advanced-stage exploration project having significant potential to host one or more open-pittable gold deposits."
