As of the 2000 census, the population is 1,651. Its county seat is Eureka6. History Eureka County was created out of eastern Lander County in 1873 after silver was discovered more than 100 miles . A 1,300 ft (~400 m) drilling program is anticipated in three core holes at the Ice Prospect ("Ice"). Two of the three core holes at Ice will provide high quality samples for: verification of historic drill assay results near KR-001, a reverse-circulation drill hole with 95 ft of 0.117 oz Au/t from 20 to 115 ft (29.0 m of 4.012 g Au/t from 6.1 to 35.1 m); and direct observation of alteration, structure and lithologic li·thol·o·gy n. 1.

The third core hole will be vertical and drilled 1,445 ft (440m) east of KR-001 to test the McColley Canyon Formation below surface alteration and a gold / arsenic soil anomaly. The Red Canyon project includes 237 unpatented lode mining claims (7.7 square miles / 19.8 square kilometers) on the Battle Mountain-Eureka Trend and adjoins U.S. Gold's Tonkin Springs property to the west.
