Trigger

Overview

The Trigger Property is located 40 kilometers northeast of Eureka, Nevada. It can be accessed by State Highway 892 paved to southern end of property, with the remainder accessible via well-maintained gravel roads and 4×4 trails. It surrounds the historic Gunman property (currently held by Pasinex Res.) and is mineralization upside open to the east.

The host rocks include Permian Carbon Ridge, Pennsylvanian Ely Limestone, and favorable Mississippian carbonates which project beneath the post-mineral basin to the east. Structurally, there are a series of north-south trending anticline-syncline folds which suggests potential for a more favorable antiformal structural target under post-mineral basin cover as more productive host strata (Ely-Chainman) approach the surface. There is extensive silicification of clastic “cap rock” above carbonate replacement deposit (CRD)-style replacement in carbonate members of the Permian Carbon Ridge Fm. Additionally, there are abundant milky quartz veins and an oxidized sulfide trend (060-080°) across a structural high in Newark Valley towards the Bald Mountain Mine. A hot spring sinter and travertine are also located in Newark Valley approximately 5 kilometers east-northeast.

The primary CRD target has an eastward vectoring alteration covered by Quaternary alluvium along the eastern range front. There is distal CRD mineralization on an eastern limb of an exposed syncline which presents an exciting opportunity for proximal source mineralization in an anticline beneath cover. Shallow alluvial cover presents an ideal scenario for geophysical targeting of the eastward extension of known CRD mineralization.

The property is a favorable environment for discovery of epithermal mineralization beneath the shallow cover between Trigger and Bald Mountain, along a regional trend of mineralization.

Nearby mines and deposits provide context for the project, but do not necessarily indicate similar size, styles or grade of mineralization within the project.
