Sometimes the most important exploration result is not simply the grade. It is when new data begins to change the geological thesis. That may be happening at Maverick Gold and Silver’s Jericho project in Nevada. Maverick entered Jericho as a gold and silver story supported by historical workings and assays. After completing its first systematic sampling program using its own geological team, modern laboratories and current standards, VP Exploration Ian Foreman is now describing the project differently. “We are now coming to a realization that Jericho is a silver property with gold.” Maverick reported silver values up to 644 g/t at Tempa and gold values up to 7.21 g/t at President’s, with multiple silver assays exceeding 300 g/t. Foreman also said silver to gold ratios are consistently above 300:1 and can exceed 1,000:1, meaning that in some samples the silver grade was more than 1,000 times the gold grade. The team is still working to understand what those unusually high ratios mean geologically. High Grade Silver Confirmed: Silver reached 644 g/t at Tempa and gold reached 7.21 g/t at President’s, with multiple silver assays exceeding 300 g/t.
