Mockingbird POTENTIAL: Strong likelihood of a major detachment fault associated gold / copper deposit, similar to the proven and mined Copperstone and Mesquite deposits. This was the working hypothesis of Anaconda and, later, Chevron. Unfortunately, neither company got to drill the property because of project cancellation resulting from shutdown of the company (in the case of Anaconda) or merger (with Gulf, in the case of Chevron). Searchlight’s surface and dump sampling shows a close correlation to Copperstone mineralization with the following average grades for all samples: Gold - .09 oz/T; Silver - .3 oz/T and Copper - .4%. Chevron’s geochemical work suggests two undrilled anomalies in Sections 26 and 35. Searchlight’s focus is further to the north along the down dip-extensions (under the Mockingbird Mine Detachment Fault) of the historic Mockingbird and Great West Mines (Sections 23 and 26).
