Being on the doorstep of Tahoe’s Escobal deposit, an advanced stage silver deposit with estimated production of 20 million ounces of silver per year for over ten years, the Escorpion project represents a tremendous exploration opportunity for Gunpoint as it has three untested zones of outcropping epithermal silver mineralization ready for drill testing. The Escorpion project provides Gunpoint exposure to a new potential discovery in one of the most prolific exploration districts for silver globally.
