Nevada Gold Exploration

Seeking quality gold exploration companies in safe jurisdictions quickly leads to Nevada in the US.

Ever since the discoveries which put Barrick and Newmont at the top of the Gold mining league, exploration of these deposits has promised great rewards.
See Discovery of the Carlin Deposit
Older Nevada History - Here

In any coming gold junior bull market I can imagine this region drawing many US investors through familiarity and safety.
From a practical, miners' point of view Nevada has a great deal of good infrastructure from its mining heritage, indeed there are high value assets which will need replacement ore-feeds in the coming years. The value of juniors' discoveries in this region should be higher than in remote or high risk regions.

If the next rise in gold relates to a weakening US Dollar then US based production costs should further improve the prospects for US based producer.

Recent successes are Fronteer/Auex at Long Canyon who sold out to Newmont.
I think there are some expert explorers in this region.

In this post I outline a number of companies and then revisit for key people and projects.
At the bottom of the page are a series of price charts and a spreadsheet watchlist in the usual format to assess market cap and proximity to annual price highs or lows and below that maps of regional exploration programmes ............

All junior explorers are risky. The US Bulletin Board stocks (.OB) are generally considered even riskier, with multiple pump and dump schemes. Occasionally good companies can turn up there.

History

West Kirkland Mining was formed in 2010 to focus on gold exploration in North America. The company has consolidated significant mineral rights positions in Kirkland Lake Ontario, along the prolific Cadillac-Larder Lake Break and in the major mine trends in northeastern Nevada, including the Jerritt, Carlin, and Battle Mountain Trends, and the emerging Long Canyon Trend. Option agreements have been struck with Fronteer Gold (acquired by Newmont Mining) and Rubicon Minerals in Nevada and Queenston Mining in Ontario. These and other agreements bring West Kirkland's land position to over 1,100 km2 in Nevada along with 94 km2 in Ontario.

West Kirkland's management team has generated over $1 billion in shareholder value over the past 6 years through the founding of gold and other precious metals exploration companies. They have experience with numerous value-adding transactions from hostile takeovers to mergers and mine construction. Their track record includes the following:

West Timmins Mining (WTM:TSXV): takeover by Lakeshore Gold for $424 million November 2009

Mag Silver (MAG:TSX): emerging Mexican silver producer

Platinum Group Metals (PTM:TSX): emerging South African platinum producer

These successes have garnered the group much institutional support, which has been the basis of West Kirkland's capitalization. The company was formed by reverse takeover of a capital pool company in May 2009. A highly-oversubscribed $6 million, $0.50/share financing was done concurrently with the takeover. Shortly after, a second highly-oversubscribed $2.6 million, $1.20 financing was completed. The company's shares are over 20% held by management and over 50% held by institutions.

West Kirkland is a well-structured, well-financed gold explorer, with large and exciting land packages in two of the world's most friendly mining jurisdictions. With a $4 million 2011 exploration budget, and numerous advanced targets in both Ontario and Nevada, West Kirkland is poised for success.
