Silver Peak

Esmeralda County · Nevada

0.83 Model score
Medium Training region · in-sample

All forty-four recorded gold occurrences fall in the top quarter of ranked ground and all forty-four in the top tenth, with the median deposit in the top 1.9% of ranked ground. Silver Peak is in the Walker Lane training region, so this is a measure of fit rather than of prediction. The anomaly follows the mineralised belt along the range front rather than breaking into isolated cells.

Modelled prospectivity, brighter is higher. White outline is the district boundary, white circles are recorded gold occurrences. Colour is scaled against each district's own region.

In-sample performance

Silver Peak sits in the Walker Lane training region, so these figures measure fit rather than prediction. They are published alongside the held-out districts, and labelled, because the distinction changes what the number means.

  • Known deposits in the top 25% of ranked ground 100%
  • Known deposits in the top 10% of ranked ground 100%
  • Median deposit rank, against all ranked ground top 1.9%
  • Peak score in district 0.826

Bars run from 0 to 1. Median rank is shown as the share of ranked ground the median deposit outranks.

Next best measurement

Walk the top-decile ground along the range front between the Homestake and Drinkwater workings, where the anomaly runs continuous across ground carrying no recorded occurrence. Aeromagnetic drone survey, 5 × 5 km AOI, ~25 km², 50 m line spacing, one flying day.

Evidence stack

Every family of evidence enters as its own layer. Read from the bottom up: each layer, then the combined prospectivity surface, then the ranked drill targets and proposed drone survey blocks at the top.
