Cinnamon Whiskey

The Cinnamon Whiskey project represents an outcropping epithermal gold vein system with clear upside potential at depth, supported by surface exposure, historical drilling, and a coherent structural model. Historical, non-compliant estimates suggest approximately 8 koz of gold at ~1 g/t in shallow drilling, while northeast-striking epithermal veins are traceable over ~500 m at surface. Recent due-diligence grab sampling returned an average of 0.536 g/t gold across seven samples, with a high of 2.21 g/t gold, and locally anomalous silver up to 58.6 g/t silver.

The property was initially explored in the 1980s, including shallow drilling focused on veining within a normal fault stepover zone. Nearly all historical drillholes terminate above ~200–300 m depth and therefore fail to adequately test the deeper portions of the epithermal system, a depth range at which many modern high-grade epithermal discoveries are made. As a result, prior exploration is interpreted as only having very lightly tested the most prospective parts of the system.

The current exploration thesis envisions a high-grade vein target consistent with a cymoid loop structural model, in which thin, discontinuous veins exposed at surface coalesce at depth along a master fault zone. Under this model, shallow drilling has likely intersected peripheral splays—which host the small non-compliant resource—rather than the primary fluid pathway. The conceptual target has potential analogs in high-grade Nevada epithermal gold deposits such as Midas and Fire Creek, suggesting meaningful upside if the system is tested at appropriate depths and structural positions.
