ABOUT LIBERTY GOLD
Liberty Gold is focused on exploring the Great Basin of the United States, home to large-scale gold projects that are ideal for open-pit mining. This region is one of the most prolific gold-producing regions in the world and stretches across Nevada and into Idaho and Utah. We know the Great Basin and are driven to discover and advance large oxide gold deposits that can be mined profitably in open-pit scenarios. Our flagship projects are Black Pine and Goldstrike, both past producing open-pit mines, where previous operators only scratched the surface of large-scale sediment hosted gold systems.
