List of Available Projects
Mineralized Trend | Project Name | # Claims | BLM, USFS | Model Type |
---|
Battle Mountain/Eureka trend | SF/HC | 112 | BLM | Carlin (multiple) & Epithermal overprint(?) |
Red Hills-Gold Rush/Buckhorn area. Initial drill test of 2 RC holes in 2019 cut Webb/Horse Canyon, verified Au-bearing system (+200ppb max Au), & identified multiple thrust faults that repeated the prospective section. Directly east of 2019 drilling on SF claims, previous drilling on the adjacent HC claims intersected Au (+600ppb max Au) associated w/ Tertiary-age dikes in younger Paleozoic sediments. Reinterpretation of target is based on data from Goldrush for thrust-fault anticline & best host rocks being in Wenban units # 5 & 8, possibly Horse Cnyn. Poor exposure & Qal cover, so soils planned over prospective units in 2022. |

Battle Mountain/Eureka trend | Gabel | 16 | BLM | Carlin (Sol'n/karst) |
Tonkin Springs mine area. Historic drilling has tested anomalous Au in rock chips @ surface up to ~1g/t in silicified Lower Plate carbonates with disappointing results; however, karst-hosted mineralization at the contact of Mississippian carbonates and underlying platform carbonates has not been evaluated. Soil and float sampling recommended. Sitka Gold drilling Carlin system that extends SE of BVA claims in same stratigraphy. |

Battle Mountain/Eureka trend | Shoshone Pediment (Baker Hughes) | 54 | BLM | Carlin (multiple) & barite |
Battle Mountain area. Baker Hughes drilled 43 holes in 2013 to delineate bedded barite in Upper Plate rocks. We received a split of drill chips & will receive a royalty on any barite production, BVA retains other minerals. There are two gold targets at this property: gold hosted by carbonates beneath "white smoker" barite beds in Upper Plate rocks and more-typical Carlin-type deposits deeper in Lower Plate carbonates. Several gold deposits have been delineated in Upper Plate rocks nearby to the southeast in Slaven Canyon. Geochemical vectors from barite drilling may provide clues to feeder structures. Drill chips have been logged & samples selected for assay. Baker Hughes stopped permitting while oil prices dropped during pendemic, rumors of possible sale or to begin mining when barite prices strengthen with the price of oil. Exploration drilling on an untested barite target south of resource is part of mine plan. |

Walker Lane trend | Wind Mtn | 124 | BLM | Volcanic-hosted disseminated & vein(?) Au/Ag |
Wind Mountain property, an historic open-pit/heap-leach operation. Au and Ag oxide, open-pit resource (2012 positive PEA) with exploration potential to expand. In-fill drilling in 2021 has improved portions of the Breeze Resource, which may be developed into an attractive Phase I Starter Pit. An update to the resource and new PEA is planned for early 2022. Eight holes were drilled at the Feeder Target in late 2020 and summer 2021. This area is covered with mine waste and other overburden, but several lines of evidence suggests the area was a major zone of upwelling hydrothermal fluids, possibly the source of the widespread, oxide gold deposit exploited by the Wind Pit and the Breeze Pit. Drilling intersected a banded vein zone with strong silver and anomalous gold values at depth along approximately 330 meters of strike beneath the cover and permits have been submitted to test this zone deeper where higher grades should occur. |

Walker Lane trend | Highland | 192 | BLM | Volcanic-hosted H.G. vein Au/Ag |
North of Bruner district and NE of Baxter property. H.G. gold (+10g/t) has been intersected in vein zones that are extensive, but mostly covered by thin alluvium on the western portion of the property. Targets have been identified from geologic mapping, previous drilling, gravity, magnetics, IP, AMT and soil and rock geochemistry. The property was optioned to OceanaGold, which concentrated on the eastern portion of the property with geologic mapping, rock-chip & soil sampling, extensive CSAMT geophysics, and a 2-hole core drilling program in 2020. However, OceanaGold did not complete the 2nd drill hole. The Geyser target was partially developed and drill sites were permitted, but not drilled due to budget cuts and the property was returned to BVA in December 2020. Headwater Gold acquired an option on the property & conducted a 7-hole RC program summer 2021, after which they returned the property due to only moderately encouraging results. Several high-quality targets remain and Headwater data is being reviewed in detail. |

Walker Lane trend | East Manhattan | 84 | USFS | Volcanic-hosted H.G. vein Au/Ag |
Manhattan district. Extensive vein-hosted, multi-gram gold mineralization has been partially delineated by geologic mapping & sampling and previous drilling. Intersecting vein zones beneath current drilling remains an attractive drill target, and more recent magnetics data has identified areas of possible alteration beneath shallow alluvium on strike with known vein zones. Targets have been permitted, subject to posting a bond. Drill ready. |
||||
Walker Lane trend | Baxter | 114 | BLM | Volcanic-hosted H.G. vein Au/Ag |
Northwest of Bruner district. BVA's previous drilling has intersected thick zones of low-grade gold (~0.3g/t) and narrower intervals with up to ~10g/t Au. Kinross added claims & completed various geophysical surveys, mapping/sampling, & clay alteration studies. 3 phases of drilling were completed before returning the property to BVA. A highlight intercept of 32m of 0.88g/t Au starting 30m from surface was drilled at the Sinter Target. This miineralization is open to the west and provides an attractive exploration target. A small area west of the Sinter Target is planned for soil sampling to refine drill targets. |
