Property Overview. Cathedral Well is located approximately 10 kilometers south of the Mount Hamilton gold project, and virtually surrounds the historic Green Springs mining district. USMX produced 1.1 million tonnes at an average grade of 2.1 g/t gold from open pit mining operations in the district from 1988-1990 (Russell, 2005)⁽¹⁾. Ely Gold has consolidated the Green Springs district and assembled much of the historic data into a property-wide database of geochemistry, geophysics, and drilling in order to re-evaluate the district's exploration potential.
