IRON BUTTE PROJECT
The Iron Butte Property is located in the Battle Mountain—Eureka trend. The Property covers an area of approximately 1,540 hectares (over 190 claims) and features a well-defined bulk-tonnage epithermal gold and silver system, which outcrops at surface. Past drilling by Homestake, Newmont and Newcrest showed promising indications of gold and silver mineralization. A total of 31,614 m of reverse circulation (RC) drilling has been completed to date. With the oxide cap intact, Angold intends to continue exploration of this promising deposit and to update the historic resource.
