Dixie-Comstock

Summary

The Dixie-Comstock property is located in the Dixie Valley, near the base of the east flank of the Stillwater Range in Churchill County, Nevada. The near surface epithermal gold system occurs mostly within the Stillwater gabbro and is generally covered in alluvium. The gold system controlled by quartz veins, bordered by quartz stockwork, and occurs within the gabbro near the contact with the alluvium. The stockwork is transitional to hydrothermal breccia, showing intense silicification. The alluvium has been mineralized near the load deposit.

The Dixie Valley is the site of considerable seismic and geothermal activity, with a geothermal power plant located 15 miles northeast of the property.

A total of nearly 70,000 feet of drilling has been completed on the property. Drilling has included mostly reverse circulation drilling and some core holes. Major mining companies have drill tested this property over the past 25 years to include Asarco and Santa Fe Minerals. Addwest and Horizon Gold Shares have also carried out drilling programs on this property in the 1980’s and early 1990’s.
