Sleeper

The Sleeper Gold Project is located in Humboldt County, Nevada The Sleeper Mine was an open pit mine operated by AMAX Gold from 1986 until 1996, which produced 1.66 million ounces of gold, and 2.3 million ounces of silver. Currently the Sleeper Gold Project is comprised of the original mine as well as numerous concessions that were acquired since 1996 to create a consolidated land package of approximately 30 square miles within one of the most prolific gold mining districts in the world.

Production records indicate that less than half of the gold mined at Sleeper was recovered. The very high grade veins at Sleeper were milled and thus allowed operations to be very profitable without attempting to maximize recoveries from other gold bearing material such as the heap leach ore, or sulphide material.

A significant number of ounces are above ground on the site.

Approximately 49 million tons of above ground material exists in the heap leach pads at Sleeper. This gold bearing material is in part covering some exploration drill targets. All permits for the recommended drill testing of the priority targets at Sleeper are in place.
