Railroad
Railroad – opportunity for multi-million ounce gold discoveries on the Carlin Trend, Nevada
Gold Standard Ventures acquired the Railroad District in 2009, and is now in the process of applying modern-day exploration techniques and models to discovering new gold deposits in this target-rich District. Carlin-style deposits are in evidence with about 150 thousand ounces of gold at 2+grams grade discovered from surface outcroppings and limited, previous shallow drilling. Targets below 400 to 500 feet remain undrilled and many targets obscured by structural complexity and cover have yet to be drilled. Gold Standard Ventures has identified several new target opportunities and is in the process of assessing these targets with both reverse circulation and core drilling.
Railroad Overview
- Neighboring Newmont’s Rain and Emigrant mines on the Southern portion of the prolific Carlin Trend

- District Scale, approximately 16,000 acres which compirses of the entire “Fourth Window” on the Carlin Trend. Lower Plate rocks and silicification exposed at surface
- Surface resource (referenced as “Historical”) of over 150,000 Au averaging 3grm at surface
- Excellent potential for Collapse Breccia hosted, Carlin styled gold deposits – refer to January2011 drill releases
- Railroad has potential for composite multi-million ounce deposits
- Historical high-grade underground drill intercepts
