Silver Ridge Prospect​

The Silver Ridge Prospect is primarily a zinc, lead, and silver target.  This analysis is based upon the geochemical assays that have been collected to date.  The Silver Ridge sits about 9500 feet north of the Golden Valley Prospect.

The Silver Ridge Prospect is less intensely sampled than the Golden Valley Prospect.  No geophysics has been conducted in the Silver Ridge area and more detailed mapping is required.  Silver Ridge justifies a major program of sampling, mapping, geophysics, and drilling because of the geochemical samples accumulated to do.  Three of the geochemical samples are displayed to the right.  Zinc and lead assays are elevated to high grade samples.  Silver is present throughout the samplings with sample 36 containing 4.34 ounces silver per ton.  

The Silver Ridge is an important prospect for Auric and for Itronics.  Zinc is an important ingredient for a couple of different GOLD’N GRO fertilizers manufactured by Itronics.  The Rock Kleen Process can recover the zinc for making the fertilizers at the planned Rock Kleen Tailings Recovery Plant in Wabuska.  The Rock Kleen Process also targets silver.  Silver Ridge is only eight miles from Wabuska and quarried rock from the Silver Ridge will play an important roll in Auric’s future.
