West Point Gold is a Canadian exploration company engaged in the discovery of precious metal deposits with a focus on gold and silver. The Company has concentrated its search on precious metal districts in North America. West Point Gold has two significant precious metals projects -- Taviche, Mexico, and Greyhound located in Nunavut, Canada.
Their Taviche Project is located in the State of Oaxaca, Mexico within the San Jose Mining District, reportedly one of the first historic silver-mining areas in the country. Mexico hosts some of the best silver hunting ground in North America and is a region that provides safe legal and political environments for mining companies. The geology has unbeatable potential for a major discovery. Mexico was the largest silver producing country in the world with 152.8 million ounces recovered from primary and base-metal mines in 2011 and has a long mining history with recorded and estimated historical production of silver in the billions of ounces.
The Taviche project is comprised of the Taviche East and Alma Delia concessions with the Company currently holding a 70% interest and joint venture partner Intrepid Mines Ltd. holding a 30% interest. Since 2009, the Company has concentrated exploration on the Higo Blanco jasperoid prospect, a 7-kilometer long trend of silicified limestones that are variably mineralized at a surface with silver minerals with gold potential at depth. During the fall of 2011, an initial NI 43-101 resource estimate was completed for the Higo Blanco prospect which reported an Inferred silver resource of 865,000 tonnes at a grade of 119 g/t for 3.3 million ounces of contained silver and an Inferred gold resource of 3.3 million tonnes at a grade of 0.51 g/t for 54,000 ounces of contained gold.
