Knauss Creek creates a contiguous block with existing mineral claims of the Holy Grail. Knauss Creek contains several areas of high-grade mineralization including the historical Dorreen Mine.
The property is easily accessible with multiple serviced roads, logging roads, and ATV trails crosscutting the property. Complementing the favorable access are the three phase powerlines that transect the claim block – these attributes provide for cost effective exploration and improved economic feasibility if a significant deposit is delineated.
There are 12 past-producing high-grade gold and silver hard rock mines within a 15km radius and several nearby placer-gold bearing creeks that have been historically mined near the Holy Grail claim block. Among these placer operations are the active operations of Douglas Creek which have produced the coarsest placer gold in the region with gold nuggets up to 10 ounces.
Prospect Ridge’s prospecting and stream sampling programs from 2021 to 2024 have discovered multiple outcrops with exceptional high-grade gold and silver values over a 3.5km by 6.5km area. Heavy mineral sampling has produced gold bearing gravel on multiple drainages cutting the property.
Exploration plans for 2025 include detailed geological mapping and target definition.
