Confusion Hills
Location : Nevada, U.S.A. | Mineral : Gold & Silver
The Confusion Hills Prospect was staked by Almadex Minerals as part of U.S. generative program in 2023. The prospect comprises 237 lode claims that cover a large hydrothermal alteration zone developed in volcanic rocks. Mapping in 2024 defined a porphyry lithocap over an area of 1.6 km x 0.5 km.
Geology: Gold Porphyry
The Confusion Hills high sulphidation prospect covers a large alteration zone developed in volcanic rocks. To date 107 grab rock samples have been taken from outcrop and subcrop and float (grab samples are selected samples and may not represent true underlying mineralisation).
These preliminary results are very encouraging as 6 of these samples returned over 0.1 g/t gold with 3 returning more than 0.5 g/t gold (up to 7.1 g/t gold in a grab sample of subcrop and averaging 1.6 g/t gold for all 6).
Mapping in 2024 and 2025 has defined a high sulphidation/porphyry lithocap over an area of 1.6 km x 0.5 km. The lithocap displays complex alteration with central zones of vuggy quartz with alunite and massive pyrophyllite zones. Soil sampling was carried out in 2024 and returned anomalous Au, Mo and Cu with an association of Au within the central zone of alteration and a Mo anomaly on one edge.
Recently a two line test IP geophysical survey was conducted which identified a high chargeability feature (interpreted to represent sulphide development) directly beneath the area of quartz alunite alteration and high gold in grab samples at surface. A drone based mag survey has also been conducted to aid with interpretation.
The Company has a drill permit in hand to allow first pass drill testing of the target now defined by surface alteration, surface gold rock and soil results and an IP target at depth.
