The Bottle Creek Project is a 48.6 square km (18.7 square mi) claim block staked over very prospective low-sulphidation, epithermal, gold-silver targets in a district noted for past-production of mercury. The key indicators to the presence of an epithermal system are all present at Bottle Creek - anomalous gold, mercury, antimony antimony (ăn`tĭmō'nē) [Lat. antimoneum], semimetallic chemical element; symbol Sb [Lat. stibium,=a mark]; at. no. 51; at. wt. 121.75; m.p. 630.74°C;; b.p. 1,750°C;; sp. gr. (metallic form) 6. , arsenic, and thalium. Hydrothermal breccias are also present and mark the probable centre of an epithermal system. The Sleeper Deposit, located 21km east of the Bottle Creek district, exhibits the same host stratigraphy, displays similar geochemical anomalies, structural controls, vein, breccia breccia: see conglomerate. breccia Coarse sedimentary rock consisting of angular or nearly angular fragments larger than 0.08 in. (2 mm). Breccia commonly results from processes such as landslides or geologic faulting, in which rocks are fractured. and stockwork mineralization Mineralization The process by which the body uses minerals to build bone structure. Mentioned in: Rickets mineralization, n the bioprecipitation of an inorganic substance. as encountered at Bottle Creek. Sleeper was the richest grade gold mine in Nevada, containing bonanza veins grading up to 160 ounces/t Au as well as stockwork ore generally grading less than 0.1opt Au.
