About the Porter Project

The Porter Project has an upside exploration potential between two shear hosted silver-rich vein systems: the historic Silverado mine and past-producing Prosperity-Porter Idaho mines that are separated by a 2,350 meter long unexplored trend. Veins at both sites run at a similar orientation and it is hypothesized that the system may be continuous under the summit of Mount Rainey. The Prosperity-Porter Idaho vein system has seen past production, having been mined between 1929 and 1931, producing 27,123 tonnes of direct shipping ore with recovered grades of 2,542 g/t silver (73.8 oz/ton) and 1 g/t gold (yielding approximately 2.2 million ounces of silver). The ore was shipped to the port at Stewart, British Columbia via aerial tramway.
