BLACKHAWK MINE
Blackhawk Highlights
- Historical Production
- Reports record Gold produced from ramps, underground, high grade zones averaging 10 g/t.
- Property
- Seven Patented Lode Claims.
- Patented Mill Site.
- 178 Contiguous Federal Lode Claims.
- 2% Net Smelter Royalty.
- 2% Gross Rock Royalty.
- Property Wide Potential
- Eight new identified mineralized zones.
- Multiple high-grade gold, silver, lead and zinc results from surface sampling.
- Numerous limestone beds property wide, provide good opportunities for mineral traps.
Regional Structural Setting
Three Structural Intersections:
- San Andreas Fault
- Eastern California Shear Zone
- Northern Frontal Thrust Zone
The Structural Schematic
Northern Frontal Thrust system
The Structural Setting
- Thrusts rooted to the south beneath Blackhawk Mountain.
- Surface mineralization traced in multiple directions over an area of 3,600 m by 2,200 m in exposed thrusts.
- Mineralization developed through a vertical distance of ~550m in imbricated thrust stack.
PROPERTY AREA AND LOCATION
The Blackhawk property is located in Sections 7, 8, 9, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22; Township 3 North; Range 2 East, in the historic Blackhawk Mining District, San Bernardino County, Big Bear City Quadrangle, State of California, U.S.A. The property is in the south-eastern part of the State of California, approximately 60 km northwest of Palm Springs (Figure 1). The nearest community of size to the project is Lucerne Valley,California, 20 km to the northwest.
The center of the property is located at approximately latitude 34 °21’ North and longitude 116 °47’ West (UTM Zone 11N; 519,500 E / 3,800,200 N; NAD 83). The property stretches roughly 5.3 km northwest to southeast by 2.6 to 3.3 km northeast to southwest, covering 3698.14 acres (1496.62 hectares).
2022 GEOLOGICAL PROGRAM
- 2022 mapping and rock sampling program concentrated on non-historic, underground precious metal patent claims
(Figure 1). - Surface sampling focused on 2 zones: Partin Quarry Area & Mill Site Area
- 69 rock samples collected with over 80% returning significant precious and base metal concentrations including several above detection limits of:
- 5 samples greater than 25 grams per tonne gold.
- 11 samples greater than 100 grams per tonne silver.
- Samples with copper, lead or zinc greater than 1%.
- Several samples returned highly anomalous values of tellurium and indium.
- These samples are presently being fire assayed.
- Mineralized samples confirm the Blackhawk mineralized trend extends eastward from historic workings for approximately 4.5 kms.
