Nevada Sunrise plans 2025 exploration at Griffon

NEV · Price

Executive Summary

  • Nevada Sunrise Metals Corp. announced its fall 2025 exploration program for the Griffon Gold Mine project in White Pine County, Nevada.
  • The program will focus on surface work in the Anvil zone south of the former Hammer Ridge open pit, employing advanced soil‑gas, ionic leach geochemistry and IP/CSAMT geophysical surveys.
  • A plan of operations was submitted to the U.S. Forest Service; the company is awaiting comments within the standard 30‑day review period.

Key Details

  • Program Scope: Fall 2025 surface work targeting the unmined Anvil zone (south of Hammer Ridge open pit).
  • Geochemical Work: Comprehensive soil surveys using soil‑gas hydrocarbon (SGH) and ionic leach methods to detect subtle mineralization signatures.
  • Geophysical Work: Induced polarization/resistivity (IP/Resistivity) and controlled‑source audio‑frequency magnetotellurics (CSAMT) surveys to delineate subsurface structures.
  • Drill Cuttings Re‑analysis: Multielement analysis of 2020 reverse‑circulation drill cuttings (hole GF20‑07B) for antimony, arsenic, thallium, mercury and other pathfinders to generate new geochemical vectors.
  • AI‑Generated Insights: Positive results from AI analysis by VRIFY Technology Inc. on the historical Griffon geological and geophysical database (Q2 2025).
  • Permitting Update: Plan of operations submitted to the U.S. Forest Service in late September 2025; receipt confirmed by USGS, awaiting agency comments (standard 30‑day window). Potential impact from ongoing U.S. government shutdown noted.
  • Historical Context: Griffon produced 62,661 oz of oxide gold from two open pits (1998‑1999) before closure; Nevada Sunrise holds a mining lease to purchase the property (announced Feb 20 2025).
  • Qualified Person Review: Technical information reviewed and approved by Robert Allender Jr., CPG, SME, under NI 43‑101 standards.

Notable Quotes

“Our recent work at Griffon confirms the company's belief that since the early closure of the open‑pit mining operation in 1999, sporadic exploration carried out over the last 26 years has only scratched the surface of the project.” – Warren Stanyer, President & CEO


Materiality Assessment: Non‑Material – Positive (future exploration activities and permitting updates without immediate financial impact).
