Red Hills Property
The Red Hills Property was acquired by staking and consists of 51 mineral claims, covering approximately 426 ha (1,054 acres), located 56 km (35 miles) northeast of Ely in White Pine County, Nevada and covers the eastern portion of the Red Hills mining district.
Historic work at Red Hills identified lead, zinc, and silver breccia pipes and replacements in the Ordovician Pogonip Limestone, in particular near bodies of intrusive rock. Sampling of the Nine Mile Member of the Pogonip by Columbus has yielded numerous anomalous gold values ranging from 0.3 to 1.1 g/t Au, with little associated lead and zinc. The gold showings are in jasperoid and weakly silicified platy limestone and siltstone of the Nine Mile Member and could represent Carlin-type gold deposits distal to the lead-zinc mineralization. There is no known past drilling on the Red Hills Property.
