Battle Mountain

Evolving Gold has staked approximately 1959 claims (38,000 acres) of open land north of the town of Battle Mountain, Nevada.For years, exploration geologists have debated the relationship between the prolific north-northwest trending Carlin Trend, host to over 100 million oz Au (Gold) and the northeast-trending Getchell Trend, host to over 30 million oz Au. The region lying at their projected intersection is largely covered with volcanic rocks thought by many geologists to be thick and prohibitive to exploration.

A new geologic model proposed by Evolving Gold based on geophysical data and recognition of certain styles of faulting suggests that much of this area is actually shallowly buried and that the same rocks that host ore on the Carlin and Getchell trends are perhaps nearly outcropping in places under a veneer of cover.This model suggests that there may be about as much ground that is shallowly buried as is presently exposed along these trends, a discovery that would quickly revolutionize exploration in what is considered a well-hit area.

This is the “next generation” of gold target, and the time is right to take the leap and test what could become an entirely new play.We are developing a drill program to determine where cover is indeed acceptably thin and the location of favorable host rocks are located.
