Maverick Springs hosts a 539

Moz AgEq Mineral Resource and represents a large‑scale sedimentary rock‑hosted Ag‑Au‑Sb system within Paleozoic calcareous sediments.

The deposit is located just off the projection of the Carlin Trend and approximately 17 miles NNE of the Bald Mountain Mine, positioning it within one of the most prospective mining regions in the United States.

This is a strong opportunity to contribute to the advancement of a significant U.S. silver project while developing your technical capability in a dynamic exploration environment.
