Pershing County, Nevada
The Dun Glen Gold Project is located in northern Pershing County, Nevada and lies approximately 25 miles southwest of Winnemucca and 21 miles north of the Florida Canyon Mine. The project area consists of 94 contiguous unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 1,700 acres within the Sierra Mining District, an area with historic published production of at least 250,000 ounces of gold from both lode and placer sources.
The property encompasses a high-grade gold-bearing structural corridor over 10,000 feet long and is surrounded by extensive historic placer mines and occurrences. Varying levels of gold production occurred at a number of small underground mines that lie within the project area between 1862-1880 and throughout the early 20th century. The most productive mines covered by the existing claims were the Auld Lang Syne, Black Hole, and Monroe, producing between 50,000 - 75,000 ounces of gold. Placer operations produced over 200,000 ounces of gold, making the Sierra District one of the most productive placer districts in Nevada.
