The Yellow Band project is located in Beaverhead County, 16 miles northwest of Dillon, Montana
The unpatented mining claims are located in the historic Argenta Mining District within the Beaverhead National Forest in the Pioneer Mountains
Existing historic gold and silver resources based on past work will be validated by new drilling, planned to begin in late April
The Yellow Band consists of 337 unpatented mining claims.
The initial 20 claims were consolidated by a single landowner beginning in 1934 – and were kept in good standing ever since that time.
In 2002, three more claims were added.
In 2021, Gold Express Mines, Inc. staked an additional 155 claims.
In 2023, Gold Express Mines, Inc. staked an additional 159 claims.
The Yellow Band provides a unique opportunity with existing drilled resources. An additional upside exists to expand the resource along a 5-mile strike.
Existing Historic Mineral Resource estimates (all categories) range from 1.2 MT at 0.378 opt Au to 1.9 MT at 0.283 opt Au with silver credit of ~2.7 opt Ag.
Historic operators delineated 189,000 ounces Au in 6.6 million tons.
The Company has obtained and evaluated recently acquired data and enlarged the land position to ~800 acres in order to capture the entire historic resource.
