Assay drill results were provided are only privy to Majority Stockholders and potential buyers of the properties. Per the last 8k read it plz.
I do belive though, that the Assaying done by the state might be public and we may be able to get these reults to discuss. But all else is privy at this time.
The Bouse property was previously explored by Homestake Gold (now part of Barrick), which found gold mineralization throughout the property. Drill data is available for approximately 80 Homestake drill holes. Previous work by another mining company identified a 500,000 ton resource along two high angle faults that were not extensively drilled by Homestake. Exploration plans include integration of results from the previous exploration and new geophysical (including magnetic) work to identify additional drill targets, particularly along the high angle structures, with a view toward increasing the resource.
................................................................. Starting in the 1980's there has been a lot of exploration work at Bouse. Per Arizona Department of Mines and Mineral Resources records, prior to 1983 a 16 hole drill program blocked out 5,000,000 tons of material ranging from .05 to .30 ounces gold per ton. These drill-holes were in the immediate vicinity of the Little Butte underground mine and the Little Butte open pit. The drill hole locations are indicated as drill holes of an "Unknown" exploration company on the enclosed Homestake Mining map.
Next, Fischer Watt exploration, a well regarded company based in Butte, Montana, leased the Little Butte mine. They estimated the resource more conservatively, at 2,000,000 tons of .07 ounce per ton rock. They drilled exactly one 290 foot hole near the Little Butte underground mine and encountered 7 gold bearing intervals.
Tenneco then took over the project. They drilled 17 holes and found gold bearing intervals in 10 of them. Not only did Tenneco find gold
at the Little Butte underground mine and open pit, but they also found gold at the Arrastre Mine, the Blue Slate Mine and the Flat Fault Mine, all of which are included in our project.
During 1984 US Borax drilled 18 holes in the pediment to the west of the historic mining district along the inferred course of the Plomosa detachment fault. Three of these holes met with success. We have a lot of material from this project, and it is included for your review. These are the packets and maps from Corn & Ahearn and PCMI. While we have not viewed this area as a high priority, some of it has been included in our present land position.
Starting in 1987, Homestake Mining leased the central part of the district (called the Brindle claims - these are the core of our present land position) and acquired an option to purchase the smaller patented group to the west called the Paradise Mine, which is not included in our project. Homestake drilled over 50 holes over a 4 year period. They found significant gold mineralization everywhere that Tenneco did at the Little Butte mine and open pit, the Blue Slate Mine and the Flat Fault Mine. They also put down seven drill holes in the vicinity of the detachment fault. Enclosed is a pack which we obtained from Barrick which includes all of Homestake's drill logs and assay results. The map at the rear section entitled "Alteration, Mineralization and Drill Holes" includes all of the drill information for the previous work by Fischer Watt, US Borax and Tenneco.
What does the future hold for this gold deposit? While a gold deposit this big will take a substantial amount of work to turn into a large proven reserve, this should be a simple and straight forward effort if the drill programs focus on the core deposit, rather than concentrating on peripheral areas. The core deposit may be visualized as an inverted "V" with the Little Butte underground mine near the apex, the Little Butte open pit, Flat Fault mine and Blue Slate mine along the left leg, and the Airfield deposit at the bottom of the right leg. If, as we believe, the entire area of the inverted "V" turns out to be a mineable open pit resource this would be a far larger gold deposit than the 1,000,000 /- oz Copperstone, and may be closer to the 10,000,000 oz size of the Mesquite mine, which is another detachment fault deposit in California.
