Black Mountain

  • Project is north of the Brady Hot Springs and Desert Peak Known Geothermal Resource Areas (KGRA)
  • Favorable proximity to transmission lines and wells data
  • Recent Magnetotelluric (MT) campaign done by Ignis shows a shallow conductive layer associated with high temperature gradients that could be interpreted as hydrothermally altered clay cap.
  • The prospect area lies within the Copper Valley and the southern end of Granite Springs Valley (GSV)
  • Geothermal resource potential in the GSV is based on elevated subsurface temperatures from historic drilling, mapped sinter and carbonate deposits, and a favorable structural framework including complex Quaternary fault terminations
  • Shallow thermal gradients between 5 – 7°F/100ft (77 – 108°C/km
