Founder of Mining Discovery

It’s been a long time since a copper and gold mine has opened in Wyoming. The state, renowned for its diverse mineral deposits and unique geology, plays a vital role in supplying raw materials for various industries and energy development. In a nod to the historical Gold Rush era, small miners continue to stake claims on public lands in search of precious minerals, adding a modern chapter to the state’s mining legacy. Just outside of the state’s capitol, Cheyenne, work is progressing on what could be the state’s first copper and gold mine in decades. The CK gold project is a large-tonnage, gold-copper deposit featuring some of the best grade mineralization right at surface and a surrounding extensive lower-grade zone with potential for resource expansion. Discovered in 1881, the deposit underwent limited mining but gained attention through various exploration phases. In 2014, U.S. Gold Corp. (NASDAQ:USAU) acquired the project from Energy Fuels and started drilling in 2017. Until 2019, the firm was focused on its exploration assets in Nevada, and with investor reluctance to fund exploration around that time, the executive team was looking at monetizing CK. Co-founder and executive chairman Luke Norman figured he would run the project by his friend George Bee, a long-time mining and development veteran with experience turning some of Barrick’s projects into operating mines. When Bee took a closer look, he saw a straightforward project, particularly in terms of the simple open-pit mining and copper and gold recovery. https://lnkd.in/gVbr5Guk #mining #invest #stock #discovery #copper #gold #USA #mineralexploration
