The Project is situated on the southern slopes of the Ruby Mountains in northwest White Pine County, Nevada, USA, approximately 85 km south of Elko and 110 km northwest of Ely. The project area is accessible via the paved Lamoille Highway and Harrison Pass Road leading to Jiggs, with a well-maintained gravel road providing direct access to the site.
Topographically, the Project area comprises low to moderate mountains with elevations between 2,100 and 2,700 meters above sea level. Winter temperatures average -3°C, while summer temperatures reach an average of 30°C. Annual precipitation is minimal, totalling approximately 260 mm.
Geologically, the Project is located within southern extension of the prolific Carlin trend. The broader project area is characterised by a conformable sequence of Cambrian limestones, dolomites, shales, quartzites, siltstones, and altered jasperoids, which generally dip to the SSE. These sedimentary rocks have been intruded by a Jurassic quartz-monzonite stock and associated felsic dykes. Significant pre- and post-mineral faulting has resulted in a complex structural framework influenced by intersecting NW- and NNE-trending crustal fractures.
The Project is adjacent to the Bellview Polymetallic Au-Ag-Pb Veins Deposit, where mineralisation is closely associated with jasperoid alteration.
