Lexington & Big Seven Mine (MT)

Overview

Location

The Lexington & Big Seven Mine project is located in Cascade County, Western Montana, near the town of Neihart.

Claims

There are a total of 32 patented mining claims which contain numerous past-producing mines of silver, lead, zinc, copper, and gold. Average ore grades produced during the early part of the 20th century averaged well over 20 ounces per ton in silver, with excellent base metal and gold credits. The various historic mines on these claims include the Lexington, Benton, Big Seven and other mines.

Exploration

In the 1980’s and 1990’s, multi-million-ounce gold and silver exploration targets were postulated by geologists for Union 76-Molycorp. The Company intends to begin its exploration program by reopening the main tunnel of the Big Seven Mine, establishing underground drill stations and drilling to both the east and west for the down-dip extensions of numerous vein systems. The Company also will focus on reprocessing numerous historic mine dumps, which contain significant amounts of recoverable base metals, silver, and gold. The Company believes this dump clean-up will be highly supported by officials from the State of Montana.
