Cherry Creek

Cherry Creek consists of 578 unpatented and 17 patented claims as well as mill rights. Cherry Creek includes more than 20 past producing mines. In January 2021, Viscount entered an exploration earn – in agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of Centerra Gold Inc. Centerra is a Canadian-based gold mining company focused on operating, developing, exploring and acquiring gold properties in North America, Asia and other markets worldwide.

Viscount’s flagship property is focused on exploratory mining operations in the immediate vicinity of an area commonly known as the Cherry Creek Project, located approximately 50 miles north of the town of Ely, in White Pine County, Nevada.

Viscount has acquired all rights by purchasing from owners the patented claims which, allow Viscount the exclusive rights to prospect and explore for, mine by underground or open pit methods, mill, prepare for market, store, sell and dispose of all ores and minerals on or under the described properties.

Viscount has also acquired over 20 past silver / gold / tungsten producing mines including Blue Bird, Chance Mine, Filmore, Last Chance, Exchequer/ New Century Mine, Ticup and Motherlode mines.

Geologically, most of the mines are located in numerous Precambrian to Triassic aged quartzites, shales, limestones and dolomites as vein deposits, mostly in the Prospect Mountain Quartzite and the Cambrian Carbonate Formations. One of our project’s goals is focused on exploring the extensions of major veins in the district.

The three past important mines located in the Cherry Creek project are the Ticup, New Century / Exchequer and Star Mines. Because these three large past producing mines and the numerous smaller mine can indicate a possible hidden large mineral system related to a buried acid intrusive pluton Viscount staked all of the prospective ground between and adjacent to the old mines and prospects. This is the first time the all of the ground is under one company.
