Basin Gulch exploration targets: where the upside is

Last updated: November 2026. Published by Lannister Mining.

Basin Gulch exploration targets cover about two-thirds of the property that remains unexplored, plus extensions of open mineralization.

Lannister Mining reports multiple high priority targets near the historic resource area at Basin Gulch. Mineralization is open at depth, along strike and untested regionally. Future drilling will confirm and expand historical intercepts and concentrate on additional mineralized target areas within the 1,107-hectare land package.

How much of Basin Gulch is left to explore?

About two-thirds of the Basin Gulch Property is still unexplored, according to Lannister Mining. Despite more than 320 historical drill holes, most of the 1,107-hectare land package has not yet been tested.

Four kinds of Basin Gulch target

  1. Confirm historical intercepts

    Re-drill and verify the historical Basin Gulch intercepts, such as 1.8 g/t gold over 162 metres from surface, so they can support a Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate.

  2. Expand known mineralization

    Step out where mineralization is open: in multiple directions, along strike and at depth beyond the historical drilling.

  3. Priority targets near the historic resource

    Test the multiple high priority targets that Lannister Mining reports close to the historic resource area.

  4. Regional, untested ground

    Explore the roughly two-thirds of the 1,107-hectare land package that has not yet been explored.

Why the Basin Gulch upside is worth a partner's time

A drilled core with open edges

Many early stage projects ask partners to fund drilling from scratch. Basin Gulch already has more than 320 historical drill holes and highlight intervals that start at surface, yet the mineralization is open in multiple directions and at depth.

That combination means new drilling can do two jobs at once: confirm existing data for a Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate and test whether the known system extends. Lannister Mining has stated that future drilling will concentrate on additional mineralized target areas within the property.

Access that keeps programs efficient

Year-round road access from Philipsburg and a one hour drive from Butte make Basin Gulch practical to work across seasons. A consolidated land package of 11 patented and 53 unpatented claims means targets sit within one property rather than across scattered ground.

Lannister Mining has not published a drill schedule or budget on this site. Partners interested in current plans should contact the team directly.

Common questions

See all questions
What exploration targets are there at Basin Gulch?
Lannister Mining reports multiple high priority targets near the historic resource area, plus additional mineralized target areas elsewhere on the property. With about two-thirds of the land package unexplored, targets include extensions of known mineralization and regional ground that has not yet been tested.
How much of Basin Gulch is still unexplored?
About two-thirds of the Basin Gulch Property is still unexplored, according to Lannister Mining. The company describes the mineralization as open at depth and along strike, and regionally untested, which is why the exploration targets page focuses on ground beyond the historical drilling area.
Is the Basin Gulch mineralization open?
Yes. Lannister Mining reports that the gold and silver mineralization at Basin Gulch is open in multiple directions and at depth, open along strike and untested regionally. Open mineralization means the known zone has not been closed off by drilling, leaving room for expansion.
Is new drilling planned at Basin Gulch?
Yes. Lannister Mining states that future drilling will confirm and expand historical intercepts and will concentrate on additional mineralized target areas within the property. The company has not published a drill schedule on this site, so contact the team for current timing.
What is a Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate?
A Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate is the first formally reported mineral resource for a project. Lannister Mining plans to combine historical Basin Gulch drilling with new work programs to support one. It is a milestone because it gives partners and investors a standardized figure to compare against other projects.
