Del Oro Property
The Del Oro Property consists of six mineral claims, covering approximately 124 acres, located within the historic Goldbanks mining district in Pershing County, Nevada. Gold mineralization at Del Oro occurs as veins and stockworks in Triassic volcanics and sediments and mercury occurs in a classic opalite setting within Tertiary volcanics. The area was the site of intense past exploration in the 1980's and 90's with Kinross reported to have outlined a large body of low grade gold mineralization in the core of the district. The Del Oro Property contains untested gold anomalies in a similar geologic setting.
