COLUMBUS GOLD CORPORATION : http://www.columbusgoldcorp.com/ : Home Page
Subject to royalties, Columbus has a 100% interest in 19 precious metal projects, five of which are located along Nevada's prolific "Battle Mountain Gold Trend" of world class gold deposits. Four of these projects: the Utah Clipper, Crestview, and Laura properties are located in the heart of the Cortez Joint Venture (Placer Dome/RTZ) area of the Battle Mountain Gold Trend in close proximity to the +25 million ounce Gold Acres-Pipeline Mine Complex and near the recently announced discovery of the +9 million ounce Cortez Hills Deposit.
Columbus' Golden Mile Property is located on Nevada's Walker Lane Gold Trend and contains an incompletely tested skarn-hosted gold deposit which produced a drill intercept in the 1980's of 0.478 ounces of gold per ton along 95 feet and included a 1.37optAu/30 ft intersection.
Columbus also owns mineral claims covering much of the historic Silver District in southwest Arizona, on which a resource of approximately 19 million ounces of silver is well defined by past work. Approximately 10 million ounces of the identified resource occurs on Columbus' Silver District Property claim licenses.
Columbus is well positioned in a strong gold market to capitalize on the experience of its management and its existing strategic property position to rapidly build shareholder value through the development of its projects and additional acquisitions.
