Exploration in Tier-1 Jurisdiction
Location and Ownership
Located in the historic Midas Mining District, the 100% owned Clover property holds 169 unpatented claims over 3,063 acres In Elko County, Nevada. The district is known for producing gold and silver since the early 1900s, yielding over 2 million ounces of gold between 1998 and 2013.
The property is situated on BLM administered lands in the Midas Mining District, approximately 15 kilometres southwest of the town of Midas, 68 kilometres northeast of Winnemucca and 240 kilometres northwest of Elko.

The Getchell Fault, one of the most prominent structural features of the region, generally strikes north-south to north-northwest, and plays a significant role in controlling mineralization and the distribution of rock types.
Geology and Mineralization:
The property is situated along the northeast trending Getchell Trend, which connects the Carlin and Battle Mountain Trends, and is proximal to Nevada Gold's active Turquoise Ridge Mine, the third largest gold mine in the United States.
Drilling at the site by previous operators revealed significant mineralization in veined breccias and shear zones, with notable intercepts including 9.7 metres grading 25.3 g/t gold, 7.6 metres of 7.9 g/t gold, and 3.0 metres of 10.0 g/t gold.
Our exploration targets a low-sulphidation, vein-hosted, epithermal gold deposit, similar to the nearby Midas Mine, where gold and silver are found in northwest striking veins.
