  • Property Location: Gold Springs 1 is located in the Stateline (Eagle Valley) mining district, Lincoln County, Nevada, approximately 40 km east of Pioche near the Nevada-Utah state line.

  • Historical Production: The district recorded roughly $400,000 in historical gold-silver production from 1896 into the 1930s.
  • Geological Features:
    • Two principal fault-controlled zones identified: the Tempa-Helen vein system and the Miramonte zone.
    • Mineralization is characterized by low-sulphidation epithermal gold-silver mineralization with extensive silicification and quartz-adularia-calcite veining.
