Situated on the southern periphery of the Manhattan Caldera, approximately 16 km south of the over 15-million-ounce Round Mountain Mine is the 100% owned Manhattan property.
This 6,071-acre property encompasses the Goldwedge Mine, the recently acquired Kinross Manhattan properties with two past producing gold mines, and the Keystone and Jumbo deposits.
The Goldwedge Mine is a fully permitted underground mine with over 600 meters of excavation. Drilling has outlined mineralization over a 335-meter strike length and to a vertical depth of over 150 meters (open).
Considerable exploration work on the Manhattan properties has been conducted by various operators since production ended at the Manhattan Mine in 1990.
