| 2019 | Exploration | Exploration Project | Valdez Creek Mining Company, LLC | The Valdez Creek gold lodes are located in the headwaters of the Valdez Creek placer deposits in the south-central Alaska Range. Historical exploration identified five vertically stacked, gold-bearing zones over a vertical distance of 600 feet with a strike length of over 900 feet. The claims are currently being explored by Valdez Creek Mining LLC, who, in 2019 conducted a program of 3,800 feet of core drilling, 3,000 feet of exploratory trenching, and soil sampling. |
