Target

Carlin-style gold systems similar to Marigold, Phoenix or Cove-McCoy, hosted on strong gravity and magnetic structural trends.

Historic / Nearby Production
  • Adjoins south margin of SSR Mining’s Marigold Complex (12.7M oz Au)
  • 1.5km west of NGM’s Phoenix Mine (13M oz Au)
  • 6km north of i-80 Gold Corp’s Cove-McCoy Mine (4M oz Au)
  • Major north-south trending structures extend from the Marigold complex deposits onto Made in America Gold claim block.
Outlook

This region is largely covered by alluvium which gravity data suggests is shallow; geophysics are a very valuable tool in this terrain.

A detailed gravity survey is underway to refine geometry of gravity highs and structures that may control mineralization.
