THE
PROJECTS
Pilot Mountain Project
The Pilot Mountain project is
an advanced exploration and mineral resource definition stage
project located in Mineral County in western Nevada.
The project covers an area of 14.80 km2 (3,904.1 acres)
and is located 200km southeast of Reno and 18km east
of Mina, Nevada. It is well situated for the supply of power,
water and skilled labour and proximity to transport infrastructure
in Mineral County and is centred around four existing
mineral deposits: Garnet; Good Hope; Gunmetal and Desert Scheelite,
all of which possess significant skarn-style
tungsten-copper-silver-zinc mineralisation. The Pilot
Mountain project consists of 176 active lode mining claims and
4 filed mill site claims. The four mill site claims filed at the
former Dunham mill site have secure access to groundwater supply
sufficient for the proposed project.
Garfield Project
The Garfield Project is an exciting
copper-gold-silver prospect consisting of 65 lode mining claims
covering 9.18 km2 (2,268 acres) located in Mineral County,
Nevada, approximately 14km due east of the town
of Hawthorne and 120km due west-northwest
of Tonopah. Exploration to date has included detailed
geochemical sampling and follow up analysis which highlighted the
presence of both porphyry and skarn-type mineralisation and
alteration at the 'High-Grade Zone'. Further to this, mapping,
prospecting and rock sampling was recently completed with results
confirming presence of high-grade copper, silver and gold
mineralisation as well as leading to the bedrock discovery of the
Pamlico Au Zone with individual rock samples up to 18.35g/t Au,
1,225g/t Ag & 1.89% Cu. Following this, geochemical analysis of
the full suite of data confirmed the strong presence of porphyry
style mineralisation across the Project, as well as potentially
overprinting epithermal style mineralisation leading to increased
gold-silver prospectivity.
Kibby Basin Lithium
Project
The Kibby Basin Project covers
two claim packages which are prospective for lithium brine
mineralisation. The southern claim package is less than 250m from a
2022 drillhole which returned a significant interval (169m) of
lithium brine mineralisation which was determined to be open in all
directions. The Project is less than 5km to the southeast of the
Company's flagship Pilot Mountain Project.
Golconda Summit Project
Golden Metal is the operator of the
Golconda Summit project, which is held under an earn-in right to
acquire up to 100 per cent. of the project from the mineral claim
owner pursuant to an option agreement. The Golconda Summit project
is an exploration stage gold and silver project located
in Humboldt County and situated at the confluence of the
Getchell and Battle
Mountain - Eureka metallogenic trends, and consists
of 44 lode mining claims, covering a total area of approximately
3.22 km2 (795.4 acres) located approximately 27km east
of Winnemucca.
Stonewall Project
The Stonewall project is an
exploration stage gold-silver property prospective for epithermal
gold-silver mineralisation. The property consists of 19 lode mining
claims covering 1.59 km2 (392.5 acres) located on the
northern flank of Stonewall Mountain, on the western edge of
the Nellis Airforce Range Restricted Access Area, in Nye
County, Nevada, approximately 24km south-east of the historic gold
mining town of Goldfield and 60km due south
of Tonopah.
