Ten Mile

Humboldt County · Nevada

0.86 Model score
High Held-out district

Centred on the Pansy Lee workings, with 39 recorded deposits. 95% fall in the top quarter of ranked ground. 87% fall in the top tenth. The median deposit outranks 98% of ranked ground. Fourteen are the target class, recorded as low-sulfide gold-quartz veins. A focused anomaly, a documented production record and the target deposit class coincide here.

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.

Held-out performance

Ten Mile sits in Northwestern Nevada, the region withheld before any modelling began and scored once, at the end. These figures measure prediction on ground the model had never seen.

  • Known deposits in the top 25% of ranked ground 95%
  • Known deposits in the top 10% of ranked ground 87%
  • Median deposit rank, against all ranked ground top 1.8%
  • Peak score in district 0.857

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

Next best measurement

Field-check the top-decile cluster northeast of Pansy Lee. Aeromagnetic drone survey over the cluster. 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.
