Vancouver — Closure of its $5-million initial public offering (IPO) has Columbus Gold (CGT-V) ready to hit the trading board and ramp up exploration on its Nevada gold projects.
The IPO is comprised of 5.9 million units at 85 apiece, with units composed of a share and a warrant exercisable at $1.25 for 18 months.
One of Columbus Gold’s bragging rights is its exclusive 3-year agreement with John Livermore’s Cordex Exploration group, which will exclusively run the company’s exploration and conduct generative programs. Livermore and partner Andy Wallace have worked in Nevada for more than three decades and are credited with discovering several gold mines and deposits hosting tens of millions of oz., including the Carlin, Stonehouse-Lone Tree, Marigold, Pinson and Dee projects.
The Utah Clipper property, located west of and adjacent to Barrick Gold’s (ABX-T, ABX-N) and Rio Tinto’s (RTP-N) Pipeline and Gold Acres mining complex in the Battle Mountain Trend, is the company’s flagship project (along with its nearby Crestview and Laura properties). Three historic, past producing operations (Utah, Clipper and Boss mines) exist on the project although the area has seen limited modern exploration. With its deep targets, Columbus Gold will likely entertain joint venturing its Cortez-Pipeline area projects to fund the drill quest for lower plate carbonates.
A recent drill program on Columbus Gold’s Golden Mile property, in western Nevada’s Walker Lane trend, is testing the size of the skarn and breccia-hosted deposit where historic drilling returned 29 metres grading 16.4 grams gold per tonne including a 9-metre section of 47 grams gold.
The company also holds a number of other gold projects in Nevada plus some copper and silver projects in Arizona.
