Gold Resource Corporation Acquires East Camp Douglas Gold Property in Mineral County, Nevada
(firmenpresse) - COLORADO SPRINGS, CO -- (Marketwired) -- 01/18/17 -- Gold Resource Corporation (NYSE MKT: GORO) (the "Company") today announced the purchase of the East Camp Douglas gold property located in Mineral County, Nevada from Diversified Inholdings, LLC. Gold Resource Corporation is a gold and silver producer, developer and explorer with operations in Oaxaca, Mexico and Nevada, USA. The Company has returned $109 million to shareholders in monthly dividends since commercial production commenced July 1, 2010, and offers shareholders the option to convert their cash dividends into physical gold and silver and take delivery.
The East Camp Douglas property covers an area of approximately 5,300 acres consisting of 277 unpatented claims, 12 patented claims and an additional 200 acres of fee lands in Mineral County, Nevada. The property is located approximately 14 miles southeast of the Company''s Gold Mesa property (see map) and will be added to the Company''s Nevada Mining Unit. Gold Resource Corporation''s Nevada Mining Unit now controls approximately 27,300 acres of development and exploration lands in south central Nevada''s Walker Lane Mineral Belt.
The Company acquired 100% of the East Camp Douglas property from Diversified Inholdings, LLC for US$2,000,000, which consisted of shares of restricted common stock valued at US$1,000,000 and cash of US$1,000,000. Diversified Inholdings, LLC retained a net smelter return royalty (NSR) of 3% on unpatented claims and fee lands and 1% on patented claims. The patented claims have an existing 2% NSR to an unrelated third party.
East Camp Douglas is situated along strong structural controls and alignments within the Walker Lane mineral belt, which hosts numerous significant epithermal gold and silver deposits such as Paradise Peak, Borealis, Bodie, Goldfield and Tonopah. Precious metal epithermal mineralization at East Camp Douglas occurs as both widespread high sulfidation alteration areas and low sulfidation veins.
Gold was first discovered at East Camp Douglas in low sulfidation quartz-adularia veins in 1893. Gold mining flourished in the district until 1902, with intermittent production through the 1980''s. Historic district gold production is estimated at approximately 100,000 ounces. Modern exploration (post 1960''s) by several mining and exploration companies has established modest gold resources in five separate areas in the district, with over 3,000 meters of drill core and a large exploration database. Company management believes this large property has numerous untested targets and the high-grade drill results warrant an extensive exploration program.
Historic drill results from East Camp Douglas include (results provided by Diversified Inholdings, LLC and several third party exploration companies):
Mr. Barry Devlin, Vice President of Exploration, stated, "We have been watching the East Camp Douglas property for some time now and are excited to have acquired 100% interest in this large prospective exploration property. This property represents a district-scale exploration opportunity with the potential to host a deposit, similar to the neighboring Paradise Peak deposit, which produced over a million ounces of gold."
"East Camp Douglas adds additional critical mass to the exploration potential of our exciting Nevada Mining Unit, solidifying a dominant land position in the area," stated Gold Resource Corporation''s CEO and President, Mr. Jason Reid. "In less than 14 months we have assembled four exciting properties in Nevada''s Walker Lane Mineral Belt, all of which have associated high-grade gold drill results many of which begin at or near the surface. Our pipeline of properties range from project development stage, to deposit delineation drilling stage, to target rich exploration drill ready stage. We are targeting production from our Isabella Pearl development project at the earliest possible point in time. We continue our delineation drilling at our Gold Mesa property to move it towards a resource and production decision, and we just commenced our first drill program at our Mina Gold property. With the acquisition of East Camp Douglas, we have secured a district scale target rich property with additional potential for a large-scale gold discovery. All of our properties have high-grade gold open pit heap leach potential, which should provide additional longevity of future operations and complement production from our operating underground mines in Mexico. I believe East Camp Douglas will be an important part of our Nevada Mining Unit''s exploration potential over the coming years, and we feel fortunate to have secured this very large, exciting, high-grade gold asset."
