Other/historical names associated with this locality:
Buckhorn South
Commodity: Ore Materials: free gold
Deposit: The deposit occurs along the same north-trending structure as the Buckhorn Mine just to the north. Drilling about one mile south of the known Zeke deposit has discovered gold mineralization along a structural zone in Tertiary basalt, and to some extent in the Tertiary fanglomerate beneath the volcanic rocks.
Deposit type: Epithermal vein, Comstock
Development: In 1987, a more-than 5000-ft drill program was underway to define and confirm estimated reserves. Buckhorn South is a property of approximately 5,000 acres, subject to 265 unpatented mining claims, located approximately two miles south of the Buckhorn mine. AngloGold North America (formerly Independence Mining Company) was exploring Buckhorn South in 2001. Royal Gold holds a 14% net profits interest royalty on any production from the Buckhorn South property. The property has known mineralized material of 2.4 million tons, with an average grade of 0.046 opt, or approximately 110,000 contained ounces of gold. Whether some or all of this mineralization can be classified to proven and probable reserve status depends upon consideration of further drilling and metallurgical testing results, and application of economic and technical feasibility factors. Drilling about one mile south of the known Zeke deposit has discovered gold mineralization along a structural zone in Tertiary basalt, and to some extent in the Tertiary fanglomerate beneath the volcanic rocks. More drilling is needed to determine if a mineable gold deposit exists in this area, which has been referred to as the ?Royal Zone.?
