500+ soil samples collected and assayed by our JV partner, Silver Range Resources. Strong gold anomalies occur on multiple trends to 1,350 meters in length.

The 2021 soil geochemistry survey produced several targets for follow-up trenching and assaying. Here are two of the ten trenches cut in spring of 2022, with more to follow.
Trench samples yielded multiple zones of high-grade gold with one sample at 63.1 g/t (2 oz/ton)
9.3 g of crystalline native gold.

However, when cracked open fine-grained visible gold occurs along veinlets of altered pyrite.

At Cambridge, gold ranges in size from sub-microscopic to coarse-grained and often crystalline, as shown here.
