Nevada – Not All Ounces Are Created Equal

Without doubt the State of Nevada is world famous when it comes to gold mining thanks to structures like the Carlin Trend and Walker Lane. But not all gold ounces in the ground in Nevada are created equal. Ireland Inc. is a Nevada based corporation that is about to demonstrate this notion with its geologically unique Columbus Project. Resource sector investors should take note.

The Columbia Project is located over top of the Columbus Salt Marsh in Esmeralda County near Tonopah (between Las Vegas and Reno). This marsh is essentially a big basin filled with mineralized sediments. The surrounding mountains have a well documented history of precious metal mining dating back to the 1800's. The project consists of 19,000 acres of placer mining claims, 60 acres of mill site claims, an approved plan of operations to mine on 380 of these acres, a 15,000 sq. foot processing plant as well as water rights. The mining permit allows for mining up to 25 feet in depth and processing of up to 78,000 tons per year and the production of calcium carbonate and precious metals.
