Palisades Provides Exploration Update on Its Made in America Gold Portfolio in Nevada
Exploration Highlights:
-
Soil Geochemistry:
A nearly complete 1,200-sample soil geochemistry program using conventional sampling has been designed to cover key hyperspectral anomalies at the Lewis,Horse Mountain ,Mill Creek , andCarico Lake projects (Figure 1). The program expands upon MIAG's portfolio-wide geochemical database of 6,359 soil samples. New data will also validate historic gold, mercury, and trace element anomalies atHorse Mountain , whereNevada Gold Mines (NGM) is drilling less than one kilometre to the north. -
Hyperspectral Mapping:
Airborne hyperspectral data from SpecTIR has been acquired over theHorse Mountain (Figure 2),Buffalo Valley , Lewis, Hilltop South, andCarico Lake properties and has revealed large areas of alteration related to known gold in soil anomalies and mineralizing Eocene intrusions. Further, a handheld SWIR scanner from Hyperspectral Intelligence is now in use on core and RC chips from historic holes to identify alteration assemblages related to gold intercepts up to 15.2m of 1.55 g/t Au and 62.5m of 1.02 g/t in LS21-015 at Lewis and 4.8m of 5.357 g/t Au in IP22-005 atIron Point . -
Ionic Leach™ Survey:
Over 300 samples have been submitted for Ionic Leach™ ("IL") from theMill Creek property (Figure 3), located 4 kilometres east of I-80 Gold's past-producingMcCoy-Cove Mine , in an area of thin basin overburden. Developed by ALS Global, the IL technique provides ultra-low-level selective analysis of mobile metal ions to detect subtle geochemical halos above buried mineral systems.Mill Creek was staked in 2020 based on past exploration activity and regional public gravity data indicating a basement high, interpreted as a favourable structural and lithologic setting forCarlin -type gold mineralization. -
Ground Gravity Interpretation:
Detailed ground gravity surveys have now been completed across mostBattle Mountain area projects, includingBuffalo Valley ,Mill Creek , Lewis andHorse Mountain . The data assists in mapping basin geometry, overburden thickness, and major basement structures that act as conduits for hydrothermal fluids. The new data has revealed several structural corridors considered prospective for hosting gold mineralization, such as the north-south oriented structures tested by sampling shown in Figure 3.
From Made in America Gold's CEO,
"The advantage of controlling such a broad, contiguous land position in one of the world's most productive gold regions is the ability to compare, calibrate, and refine exploration models and targets across multiple geological settings. This approach will allow us to focus future drilling where the potential for large-scale, high-grade systems is greatest."
Modern Hyperspectral Exploration Technology
Made in America Gold is utilizing both the advanced airborne hyperspectral surveys along with handheld hyperspectral analysis of historic core and reverse circulation (RC) chips to accelerate exploration efforts. The airborne survey collects long and short-wave infrared wavelengths (LWIR and SWIR) on metre-scale pixels for alteration minerals related to
The new downhole SWIR data is already helping to identify alteration assemblages related to significant gold intersections at
Soil Sampling Methodology
MIAG's use of both conventional soil sampling and Ionic Leach™ analysis reflects a tailored approach to the unique challenges of exploration in
This dual-method strategy enables MIAG to calibrate geochemical responses across varying depths of cover, building a regional geochemical model that accounts for both surficial and concealed mineralization environments. The combination of these datasets is designed to reduce exploration risk by distinguishing transported anomalies from genuine hydrothermal sources, improving targeting precision for future drill testing.
