Rodeo Creek

Rodeo Creek consists of 31 claims that Ely Gold acquired in September 2018, through staking, in Elko County, Nevada and are approximately 48 km northwest of Carlin, Nevada. The claims are adjacent to the Barrick Gold and Premier Gold Mines (see Figure 1). In a separate transaction with an unnamed private party, The Company acquired the complete data base on the Rodeo Creek claims. The claims were previously held by the same party for over 40 years before becoming available on September 1, 2018.

Musgrove Creek

Musgrove Creek, an advanced gold exploration project ,consists of 18 unpatented claims that Ely Gold acquired in September 2018, through staking, in Lemhi County, Idaho, and are located approximately 24 km southwest of Revival Gold's Beartrack gold deposit. Geologically, Musgrove Creek may have the potential to host a large, low-grade gold deposit. The property is one of many mineral deposits that occur along the Panther Creek fault system within the major northeast-trending Trans-Challis structural zone. These deposits include the Beartrack Mine, the Grouse Creek Mine and other past producers to the northeast and southwest (see Figure 2). The dominant host rock at Musgrove is metamorphosed fine-grained sediments of the Precambrian age Apple Creek Formation. Gold mineralization is associated with quartz veining, sericite alteration, brecciation, and structural preparation.

Idaho State Lease

Ely Gold has been granted an Idaho State Lease consisting of 551 acres in Owyhee County, Idaho. This property is located in the Delamar District currently being explored by Integra Resources. The ground was previously explored by War Eagle Mining in the 1980s and by Agnico Eagle in the 1990s (see Figure 3). The leased claims may have the potential for high grade vein targets and bulk tonnage targets.
