The White Canyon gold project is located in the historic Beowawe Mining District, located midway between the towns of Carlin and Battle Mountain in Eureka County, Nevada.
White Canyon is 100% owned by Columbus Gold subject to underlying royalties. The project has been leased to Allied Nevada Gold Corp., and provides for annual cash payments to Columbus and a net smelter returns royalty of 3%. The White Canyon claims form part of Allied Nevada's Beowawe project.
The claims cover a range front fault, containing anomalous gold and pathfinder elements in quartz veins up to 6 metres (20 ft) thick, extending several kilometers northeasterly from the Beowawe geothermal field.
Columbus Gold's independent consultant and Qualified Person, John Prochnau (P. Geo), B.Sc. (Mining Engineering), M.Sc. (Geology), has reviewed and approved the technical content of this project description.
