Big Springs is a large Carlin-type gold deposit on the Independence Trend north of the Jerritt Canyon Mine in Elko, Nevada. Big Springs is a brownfields project where a joint venture between Freeport McMoRan and Independence Mining produced 386 koz at an average grade of 4.1 g/t gold between 1987 and 1993.
The previous operator indicated plans to follow up with definition drilling on several brownfields targets, specifically South Sammy, where 2017 drilling returned 10.7 metres at 30.9 g/t gold, and North Sammy, where historical drilling returned 19.8 metres at 9.9 g/t gold. Other targets include Beadles Creek, Mac Ridge East and Beadles Creek South. Golden Dome covers the southern end of the property, where historical drilling returned intersections including 6.1 metres at 3.05 g/t gold, with similarities to the nearby Jerritt Canyon mine.
