Otis Gold Corp. is a resource company focused on the acquisition, exploration, and development of precious metal deposits in Idaho, USA. Otis is currently developing its flagship property, the Kilgore Gold Project, located in Clark County, Idaho.
Four projects located in Idaho, USA:
- Kilgore Project (Au) – 100% ownership
- Oakley Project (Au/Ag) – 80% ownership
- Gold Bug Project (Au) – 100% ownership
- Hai Project (Au) – 100% ownership
Otis is focused on developing the Kilgore Project through to a commercial production decision. Otis is committed to growing in a sustainable manner and minimizing its environmental impact.
Kilgore Gold Project
Otis' wholly owned Kilgore Gold Project consists of 436 federal lode mining claims totalling 8,720 acres (or 35.3 km), located in southeastern Idaho within Clark County, 60 miles north of Idaho Falls. The project has excellent infrastructure, is accessible by road approximately 32 miles northeast of the town of Dubois and Interstate Highway 15.
The Kilgore Deposit is part of an extensive low-sulfidation quartz-adularia epithermal hydrothermal system hosted in Tertiary volcanic rocks and Aspen Formation calcareous siltstone, shale, and sandstone of Late Cretaceous age. Gold mineralization is of the disseminated, bulk-tonnage type similar to that comprising the classic volcanic-hosted gold deposits at Round Mountain, Nevada and McDonald Meadows, Montana. The Kilgore Deposit exhibits attractive metallurgy with excellent gold recovery averaging greater than 80% at 1.5” crush size based on column leach test results. A new NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate is planned for this year to include the newly recognized Sill/Aspen mineralization.
Project Overview
- Advanced-stage open pit, heap leach gold project
- Volcanic hosted low sulphidation quartz adularia epithermal gold system analogous to Round Mountain, Nevada (Kinross: current gold equivalent production of 200,000 ounces per year). Open pit heap leach recovery potential.
- Formerly mined by Blue Ledge Mining Company in the mid 1930s (high grade underground operation).
- Echo Bay planned to put Kilgore Deposit into production as open-pit
- The Kilgore Deposit current NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate (dated September 12, 2012):
- Indicated resource of 520,000 oz Au in 27.4 million tonnes at a grade of 0.59 g/t
- Inferred resource of 300,000 oz Au in 20.2 million tonnes at a grade of 0.46 g/t
- The Kilgore Deposit is 1,000m long x 600m wide and open in multiple directions
- Drill results from 2012, 2015 and 2016 (post the Company's current NI 43-101 resource estimate) have encountered grades and intercepts significantly thicker and richer than existing resource. Multiple well-defined high-priority exploration targets present to potentially expand resource size.
- Oxide deposit with excellent metallurgy (gold recoveries of 85% on 1.5” crush material with no crush size sensitivity).
- Low projected strip ratio of 1.5:1.
Oakley Gold Project
The Oakley Gold Project, located in Idaho, USA, is comprised of three primary targets (Blue Hill Creek, Matrix Creek and Cold Creek) and covers an area of approximately 4,000 acres.
- Intermediate-stage exploration target
- Recent drill hole of 123m at a grade of 0.691 g/t Au (see Otis news release dated February 5, 2015)
- Oakley has a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate:
- Inferred 163,000 oz Au at a grade of 0.51 g/t
- Available for joint venture
Investment Highlights
- Otis is a development story with an established and growing gold resource located in mining-friendly Idaho
- Otis owns a 100% interest in the Kilgore Gold Project (subject to no royalties or residual interests)
- Excellent drill results:
- 2011 and 2012 drill intercepts include 121.9 m @ 1.04 g/t Au, 118.8 m @ 0.89 g/t Au, 114.3 m @ 0.89 g/t Au, 83.8m @ 1.12 g/t Au and 82.3m @ 0.89 g/t Au
- 2015 drill intercepts include 56.4 m @ 2.05 g/t Au, 59.5 m @ 3.79 g/t Au, 50.3 m @ 4.24 g/t Au and 94.5 m @ 4.21 g/t Au
- 2016 drill intercepts include 30.5m @ 5.37 g/t Au, 85.4m @ 2.5 g/t Au, 128.0m @ 1.78 g/t Au, 120.4m @ 1.55 g/t Au and 80.8m @ 1.87 g/t Au
- Aspen Corridor is open laterally to NW and SE and at depth providing clear path to Kilgore Deposit resource and grade expansion
- Strong potential for new Kilgore discoveries at Gold Ridge, Prospect Ridge and Dog Bone Ridge targets
- Updated Kilgore NI 43-101 Resource Estimate expected in 2017
- Up to 10,000m drilling in 2017 (including Phase One program at emerging Gold Ridge target)
- Experienced and committed management and technical team (comprising exploration, permitting, production, management and finance expertise)
