Shoshone Anomaly Exploration Project
California

dv085048.jpg

 

Does a potential multi-billion dollar gold-copper porphyry deposit interest you?

A blind exploration target that may easily be confirmed with a few drill holes.

ACTIVELY SEEKING A TEXAS OIL WILDCATTER...

Or that rare breed of man or a small group who are up to a challenge, a long shot? Yes, it  could make your great grandchildren extremely wealthy…and the risk is very minimal.

We have acquired a land position in a highly mineralized area.

We have a
 geological report and an airborne magnetic survey
indicating a huge mag anomaly.

Coupled with a very favorable geological environment we believe this offers you an excellent opportunity to make millions while assuming a very small risk.

By comparing our exploration target (Shoshone Anomaly) to known similar porphyry deposits, we have found the following:

The Mt. Milligan deposit in British Columbia produced 4 million ounces of gold and 1.2 billion pounds of copper.

The OK Tedi deposit in Papua New Guinea produced 4.7 million ounces of gold and 3.9 billion pounds of copper.

The giant Bingham Canyon in Utah produced a staggering 17 million tons of copper, 23 million ounces of gold, 190 million ounces of silver and 850 million pounds of molybdenum through 2004.

If one does the math on any of the 3 deposits listed above one can easily see the potential considering the current price of these metals.

BRB GOLD PROJECT

Arizona

 

BRB (Black Rock Basin) located in Maricopa County, Arizona about 25 miles southwest of Wickenberg. The property consists of two 160 acre unpatented association placer claims (320 acres) total. There is room to expand this claim block to the west, south and possibly the north and northeast.
 In the past two years we have taken over 400 soil and rock chip samples from the property. These samples indicate gold up to 0.10 oz per ton, silver up to 7 oz per ton, lead over 20% and zinc over 30% per ton with some copper.
The ore occurs in brecciated calcite-quartz rich veins within a tertiary volcanic basalt and andesite host rock. The veins range from one foot in thickness to over 12 feet and measure in length from 100’s to several thousand feet in surface strike length. Water could be obtained from shallow wells drilled on the property.

MIDAS GOLD PROJECT
Arizona

 


Two 160 acre unpatented association placer claims (320 acres) located in southeast La Paz County, Arizona.
Midas Gold Prospect located about 3 miles southeast of Wenden, Arizona and about 85 miles west of Phoenix. The property consists of two unpatented association placer claim consisting of 320 acres. There are several other unpatented 160 acre placer claims in the immediate area that may be purchased or leased for a fair price and added to the Midas Package. Placer gold occurs here in fine grains, flakes and small nuggets in shallow gravels (often very rich paystreaks )We have about 20 assays taken from mine dumps veins, etc running from traces to 2.50 oz au per ton.
The claims have both placer & lode potential
On the south end of the property narrow rusty quartz veins cut the altered granite-gneiss assaying over 2.5 oz per ton gold with anomalous silver and copper. Water can be obtained from wells drilled in the valley below where a mill site could be constructed.
The property is readily accessible by two wheel drive the year around.

 
The Midas claims were originally located and staked for their placer gold potential. Our testing using hand methods, shoveling the sand and gravel through a dry-washer produced abundant fines, grains, flakes and a few small nuggets. We can only estimate the grade but it appeared to average 0.05 to 0.10 ounces per cubic yard estimating the amount of material processed and the gold recovered. The placer gold on these claims is derived from rusty (iron stained) quartz veins, veinlets and from limonite-hematite stained fractures within the altered gnessic rock on the claims.
 The country rock (granite gneiss) is altered giving it the appearance (a bleached, discolored, iron stained look) of a leached cap or capping overlying a gold-copper rich porphyry deposit at depth. We have sampled some of the veins, small dumps, quartz stockpiles and barren rock for background and have had gold assays exceeding 2.50 ounces per ton with minor silver and copper. We used Chemex Labs in Reno, Nevada and they ran 20 rock samples for 32 elements. Bismuth, often considered a good pathfinder for large ore deposits was highly anomalous, often exceeding 10 and over 100ppm. Bismuth because of its low mobility indicates close proximity to a deposit. The average background for bismuth is between 0.10 to 0.20 ppm.  Some of our rock samples were 50 to 1000 times greater then background in bismuth. 
Both Cypress and Noranda did considerable work just east and northeast of the Midas. They were exploring for a large gold rich copper porphyry system. Over a three year span the two companies drilled well over fifty RC holes and a massive amount of trenching with backhoe and bulldozer. This work was done in the early 1980’s. The owner at the time of the present day Midas ground apparently would not deal with these companies and the Midas ground remained untested by modern exploration techniques. We picked up the ground when the owner finally dropped it when gold prices dropped to $250 an ounce.

 
 Because of the geochemical results from the 20 rock samples taken on the claims
and in the immediate vicinity the following observations are made:
•    Two of the samples assayed 1 ounce of gold (au) or better.
Sample # 229615 ran 33.5 ppm or 1 oz. au per ton.
Sample #229605 ran 83.8 ppm or over 2.5 oz au per ton.
Using a conservative closing price of $925 per oz., 2.5 oz = +$2300 per ton.  About 5 of the 20 samples were highly anomalous in copper,  sample #229604 running 1.93 % or about 38 lbs of copper per ton @ $3.80 per pound = $144.00  A very nice by-product with minor amounts of silver.
  Bismuth (bi), often a pathfinder element for many types of ore deposits is most interesting. Wherever we had anomalous or ore grade gold we had highly anomalous bismuth.
•    Molybdenum (mo) often associated with porphyry type deposits is also present in anomalous amounts, 10 of the 20 samples ran 5x over background or more.
•    And lastly we have a large area of alteration with soda (na) depletion. Soda depletion is another characteristic of some types of ore deposits. Of the 20 rock samples all were depleted in na.
These assays results are available upon request.

Additional Features

1.    Approximately 80 air miles WNW of downtown Phoenix.
2.    4 miles south of railhead.
3.    4 miles south of power lines.
4.    4 miles south of Hwy 60.
5.    Approximately 8 miles east of several small airstrips at
Salome.

This is a great opportunity for someone interested in placer or lode mining
or an investment opportunity as gold and other metal values continue to climb.

RATTLER GOLD PROJECT 
Nevada
Rattlesnake Prospect located in Pershing County, Nevada about 40 miles northwest of Lovelock and about 120 miles northeast of Reno. The property consists of 2 unpatented 20 acre lode claims (40 acres total) with room to expand in all directions.
Assays from rock chips outcrops and old mining dumps have indicated values exceeding 0.50 oz per ton gold with anomalous arsenic, antimony and mercury, the latter three are gold pathfinder elements, especially in Nevada. There are several rusty gold bearing quartz veins in sediments on the property ranging in width from one foot to 5 feet and strike length unknown because the veins dip under soil cover but at least 400 feet of length is visible on the surface. Water can be obtained from shallow wells drilled below the property on a possible millsite. 
Near Rye Patch Reservoir and Majuba Placer Gold Fields (nuggets to 10 oz and meteorites).
Priced as a great value at $29,900.00 with terms.
