Keystone is a complex early-Tertiary intrusive-centered dome with extensive mesothermal to epithermal zones of alteration in exposed upper-plate units; exposed permissive lower-plate units of Devonian Horse Canyon and Wenban limestone, and Silurian Roberts Mountain limestone Formations. US Gold Corp. controls 100% of the Keystone District. The Keystone District has marked geological and geochemical similarities to the Barrick-controlled Cortez District on trend to the north-northwest.
These new US Gold Corp. Keystone claims were staked on the assessment of geophysical data and drilling data acquired and analyzed by US Gold Corp. in 2016 and 2017. Three of the five vertical core holes completed in late 2016 provided new, important information regarding gold-bearing host stratigraphy, host lithological information, and potential gold deposit model information.
A quality gold deposit target opportunity is demonstrably emerging in the eastern part of the district where previous drilling has been very sparse to non-existent. US Gold Corp. will drill one more scout-type informational core hole in this eastern region this year, as soon as access permits.
Three exploration Notice of Intents (NOIs)– which permit up to a total of 15 acres of disturbance – are currently in place, and will provide ability to access new targets for drilling purposes in 2017. An Environmental Assessment (EA), for the purpose of an expanded exploration program through an exploration Plan of Operations (POO) has commenced with the assistance and leadership of AMEC Foster/Wheeler.
"Keystone represents a large, prospective, district scale opportunity," said Dave Mathewson, US Gold Corp's Vice President and Head of Nevada Exploration. "I have been on and off the Keystone property for more than 30 years and I believe Keystone represents one of the best exploration opportunities in Nevada. This is the first time in the history of the district that a single company has consolidated the entire district, and US Gold Corp. will certainly benefit from being able to design an exploration program based exclusively on geology instead of claim boundaries. We are excited about the Keystone project and look forward to providing additional updates as our 2017 exploration program advances."
The 2017 exploration program will consist of:
- Detailed property-wide scouting, additional claim staking and additional target reconnaissance
- Digitization of all prior analog data to build a current geological property-wide database
- A detailed mapping program to accurately identify the property's geological characteristics
- Additional detailed gravity surveys, managed by J L Wright Geophysics, to help define and refine drill targets
- Additional soil and rock sampling and geochemical assessment for greater targeting synthesis
- Drill target selection and continued permitting
- Drilling
"My approach to exploration has always been a process-driven, model-based methodology," Mr. Mathewson added. "This is the same approach we used at Gold Standard Ventures to make the initial discoveries on the Railroad project. Keystone represents a tremendous opportunity, as the gold deposit system indicators, permissive rock formations, geological structural setting, and Nevada location present an ideal setting for a potential discovery and mining exploitation. With these additional claims, I am confident our existing land package now effectively controls every part of the visible system and prospective extensions."
US Gold Corp's President and CEO Mr. Edward Karr further commented, "We believe the additional land position at Keystone provides significant exploration upside with what is now a much larger property position. With the additional 102 claims staked and secured, we will further explore and develop the project, which includes selecting target drill sites, permitting and drilling. Keystone is located close to some of the largest mines in North America and Dave Mathewson believes it is one of the best exploration properties in Nevada."
