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

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.
