Evening Star

PROJECTS

Overview

The Evening Star Project is situated within the Walker Lane trend in Nevada, a stable, pro-active mining jurisdiction mineral belt. The property hosts multiple styles of mineralization: intrusive-related gold (TOWER TARGET), Cu-Au porphyry (HIGH LIFE TARGET), and Carbonate Replacement Deposit (CRD)–skarn mineralization (GOLD BUG TARGET).

Discovered in 2021, the TOWER GOLD TARGET was outlined by 65 rock samples (grab and chip) over a WNW–ESE trend length of approximately one kilometre by approximately 200 metres width.
High Life is a porphyry Cu–Au–Ag target with strong, coincident soil and bedrock geochemical anomalies (Cu–Au–Ag ± Mo) hosted in quartz monzonite porphyry dikes showing porphyry-style stockwork veining.
Drilling on the Gold Bug Target returned significant results: best Cu intersection PD 91-4, 12.2 m @ 1.75%; best Au intersection PD-3, 3.0 m @ 3.26 g/t Au; and best Ag intersection ES-17-02, 5.3 m @ 105.3 g/t Ag (+0.84 g/t Au, 0.51% Cu, 0.86% Zn) from the collar.

Tower Target

The Tower Target is an intrusion-hosted gold system with anomalous bedrock values up to 18.21 g/t. Gold occurs in veins and along silicified, low-angle faults, and is also disseminated through pervasively sericitized granite over an approximately 1.5 km trend. The deposit model is compared to a Fort Knox–type, high-tonnage, bulk-mineable system, and the target is further analogized to the Barney’s Canyon distal gold deposit related to the Bingham Canyon porphyry copper system.

High Life Target

High-Life is a porphyry Cu–Au–Ag target characterized by an extensive, robust hydrothermal system with multiple intrusive phases. The magma is oxidizing and hydrous, evidenced by magnetite and abundant ubiquitous biotite, and it sits within a historic district known for high-grade precious- and base-metal skarns and veins. Mineralization occurs in quartz monzonite porphyry dikes carrying Cu–Au–Ag, with strong, coincident soil and bedrock geochemical anomalies (Cu–Au–Ag ± Mo). Soils return up to 1,620 ppm Cu, 0.212 ppm Au, and 25.2 ppm Ag, while rock samples from the quartz-monzonite porphyry dikes run up to 1.54% Cu, 0.159 ppb Au, and 97.6 ppm Ag. Porphyry-style stockwork veining is developed in these dikes, and the main mineralized dike measures approximately 250 m by 50 m. Possible analogs include Yerington (high-temperature, low-sulfidation, potassic) and Alpala (moderate temperature, intermediate sulfidation with chlorite–sericite ± albite alteration).

Copper in Soils

Two target areas were identified from soil-sample anomalies. Outcrop sampling confirms elevated copper at the High Life target, and soils define a broad anomaly west of the Tower target. Copper-in-soil values are up to 300 ppm across the anomaly. Together, these results show broad copper in soils at Evening Star—possibly indicating a concealed porphyry copper system.

2025 Proposed Exploration

Planned work prioritizes Tower, with nine drillholes to test gold potential. Another eight holes are proposed at High Life to help define a porphyry system. Drill sites were chosen using geochemistry results and surface mapping. The program is permitted under a Notice of Intent that has been filed with—and approved by—the BLM.
