American Pacific Mining reports gold and silver sampling at Nevada project

Global Mining Review,
American Pacific Mining Corp. has reported results from the 2023 Phase II rock and grab sampling programme at the recently acquired Danny Boy claims and western portion of the Tuscarora Project.
Of the 218 samples collected, 40 exceeded 1 g/t with the highest value of 100.84 g/t Au. The Danny Boy claims were acquired through the acquisition of Clearview Gold Inc. in 2023. Danny Boy is located immediately west and continuous to American Pacific’s Tuscarora Project located in Elko County, Nevada.
Highlights:
- 218 samples were collected during the fall 2023 exploration programme, with the highest value assaying 100.84 g/t Au.
- Two assays reported greater than 850 g/t silver with a high value of 1305 g/t Ag.
- Forty samples from the campaign assayed greater than 1 g/t Au, with 22 returning greater than 3 g/t Au.
- Anomalous samples were collected from a variety of different rock types and textures, including veins and silica flooded volcanic rocks, indicating multiple mineralising events and styles.
“The acquisition of Danny Boy in 2023 completed the consolidation of the Tuscarora District,” stated Warwick Smith, CEO of American Pacific. “American Pacific has systematically assembled the largest land package in the recent history of the district. Gold values from past Danny Boy surface sampling have yielded up to 24 g/t Au, so the consistent multi-gramme gold assays and significant silver values exceeded our expectations and drill targets are emerging from our field programmes.”
Tuscarora was the site of historical production and this latest phase of rock sampling provides further evidence of significant grade, while highlighting the remaining potential within the now consolidated Tuscarora District.
“The Tuscarora District is not just about the high-grade epithermal veins. The underlying carbonate rocks encompassing the Carlin and Independence Trends, host 150 million oz of gold to the east and west of Tuscarora under a thrust sheet and in proximity to the largest heat engine ever seen in northeast Nevada,” commented Eric Saderholm, Managing Director of Exploration. “These CRD, skarn and Carlin-style mineralised trends have immense potential to dwarf anything in the near-surface epithermal environment.”

Could the third time be the charm for Donald Trump in Nevada?
It certainly looks like a possibility based on a new poll by the New York Times, Siena College and the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Trump lost in 2016 by 2.4 percentage points to Hillary Clinton and in 2020 by about the same difference to Joe Biden.
But the new poll of six swing states shows that among likely voters surveyed in Nevada, former President Trump leads President Joe Biden by 13 percentage points: 51% to 38%.
That difference may hinge on favorability.
Those with a “net unfavorable” view of Biden – somewhat or very unfavorable – is 64%. It rises to 70% net unfavorable among Nevada’s large nonpartisan population.
Regarding Trump, Nevada registered voters have a 49% net unfavorable view, according to those who responded to the poll. Fifty-four percent of registered nonpartisan have a net unfavorable view – 16 percentage points lower than for Biden.
If Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and other third-party candidates are added to the mix, the difference stays approximately the same: Trump 14 points ahead of Biden if the vote were held today.
RFK Jr. would get 12% of Nevada’s votes, according to the survey.
As for whether he helps or harms one of the major party candidates, it doesn’t appear obvious: 10% of registered Republicans, 10% of Democrats and 15% of independents said they’d vote for RFK Jr.
Other poll findings – race/ethnicity, Rosen v. Brown
The poll shows Trump with a 9 percentage point lead in Nevada among registered Hispanic voters and a 6-point lead among “other” racial or ethnic minorities.
When Nevada voters were asked if they would support Democrat Jacky Rosen or Republican Sam Brown for U.S. Senate, Rosen holds a 2 percentage point advantage: 40% to 38%, which amounts to a toss-up based on the margin of error.
The Senate race shows a lot of room for movement, as about 23% of respondents said they didn’t know which one they’d pick or they refused to answer.
Trump leading in most other swing states
Among all the swing states surveyed, Trump has a 6 percentage point lead with a margin of error of 1.9 points for the overall survey.
Trump has an advantage in all but one of the other swing states surveyed.
- Arizona: Trump ahead by 6 percentage points among likely voters
- Georgia: Trump ahead by 9
- Michigan: Biden ahead by 1
- Pennsylvania: Trump ahead by 3
- Wisconsin: Trump ahead by 1
The margin of error in Nevada’s results is reported as 4.5 percentage points.
The polls were conducted from April 28 to May 9, and 21% of the surveys of Nevada Hispanic voters were conducted in Spanish.
How this poll compares to others
An Emerson College/The Hill poll released April 30 showed the presidential race much tighter in Nevada, with Trump having a 1-point lead over Biden.
A Bloomberg/Morning Consult poll, also in April, showed Trump up by 8 percent points in Nevada while one in March by the Wall Street Journal had Trump ahead by 4.
However, the latest results track with another New York Times/Siena College poll about six months ago that showed Trump with a 12-point lead over Biden.

Nevada’s biggest labor union calls off 48-hour strike on Virgin Hotels Las Vegas with 5-year contract deal in sight
Nevada’s largest labor union concluded a 48-hour strike Sunday meant to pressure Virgin Hotels Las Vegas to agree to a five-year contract on wages and benefits.
More than 700 workers with Culinary Union Local 226 walked off the job at the 1,500-room hotel-casino near the Las Vegas Strip on Friday morning and ended the strike Sunday morning. Contract talks are set to resume on Tuesday.
Guest room attendants, cocktail and food servers, porters, bellmen, cooks, bartenders, and laundry and kitchen workers were among those walking the picket line in front of Virgin Hotels, formerly the Hard Rock Las Vegas.
Ted Pappageorge, secretary-treasurer for the union, said workers hoped the 48-hour strike would help expedite a new agreement. The union’s contract with Virgin Hotels expired 11 months ago.
Earlier this year, union members at other Las Vegas-area properties reached deals giving them a roughly 32% salary increase over five years, including 10% in the first year.
The last time Culinary Union members went on strike was in 2002 at the Golden Gate hotel-casino in downtown Las Vegas.
Virgin Hotels filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board last week ahead of the anticipated strike, accusing the union of failing to negotiate in good faith. Pappageorge disputed the claim.
Last year, the union authorized a citywide strike prior to Las Vegas hosting the Super Bowl. But it eventually reached an agreement with major hotel-casinos on the Strip for about 40,000 workers and with most downtown and off-Strip properties for 10,000 workers.
Crest Insurance Group acquired trucking and transportation specialist Crossroads Insurance Services in Henderson, Nevada.
The Henderson location will become the hub of the Crest’s trucking and transportation division and will provide the logistical base to expand the agency’s services to existing Nevada clients, according to Crest. Crest adds Frank Maglalang, Crossroads’ founder, with more than 30 years of experience in transportation and trucking insurance.
Crest is licensed in 50 states, with a physical presence in Arizona, California, Colorado, and Wyoming. The firm has more than 250 employees.
