CGLD's Keeno Strike Silver Property is located approximately 30 miles southwest of Las Vegas in the historical mining district known as the Goodsprings District that contains deposits of gold, silver, copper, cobalt nickel, zinc and lead. One of the many mines in this district that historically produced ore is the Yellow Pine mine about seven miles northwest of the Keeno Strike Property, which contained over 1.4 million ounces of silver.
The claims are part of the historical mining district known as the Goodsprings district that contains deposits of gold, silver, copper, cobalt, nickel, zinc and lead. An array of deposits and showings containing silver, gold and lead occur within a mile of the claims in the same type of deposit exposed on the property. By the end of 1962 the Goodsprings district had yielded 109,000 tons of zinc, 147,000 tons of lead, 2,500 tons of copper, 900,500 ounces of gold, 120,100,000 ounces of silver, 5 tons of cobalt and 1,200 ounces of platinum group metals. Shipped ore from the district usually contained 25 to 35 percent combined lead and zinc with the lead-zinc ratio averaging 1:2
Regionally a thick section of the Monte Cristo limestone has been brecciated by the low and high angle faults and then dolomitized. Metallic minerals were deposited in the brecciated limestone and dolomite and eventually oxidized as much of the ore mined has been in the form of zinc and lead carbonates, silicates and occasionally sulfates.
