Key Project

Herbert Gold Project

The Herbert Gold project is an exploration stage, high-grade, mesothermal quartz vein system in the historic Juneau Gold Belt of southeast Alaska. The project consists of 91 unpatented lode claims located 25 km north of Juneau and to the south of Coeur Alaska’s profitable Kensington gold mine. The property covers six parallel vein structures exposed at surface. Grande Portage released an updated MRE on the project (2024) for 1.44 Moz (4.7 Mt at 9.5 g/t gold) and 0.5 Moz (1.8 Mt at 8.9 g/t gold) in the indicated and Inferred categories, respectively. The Herbert property remains open at depth and along strike. Overall, six or more promising gold-producing vein-fault structures that contain ribbon structures and quartz-sulfides are located on the property. Herbert Gold is one of Alaska’s most promising districts and has remained remarkably underexplored.

Grande Portage has conducted extensive drilling campaigns over the years, significantly increasing its resource base. Future drilling is expected to target deeper extensions of the known veins to further expand the resource. The mineral deposit model is characterized as mesothermal. These deposits are known to extend beyond 3,500 ft. The current model has only been demonstrated to depths of 900 ft. Grande Portage is also looking at various strategic partnerships in which to advance its Herbert project, which includes partnering with miners in the area such as Kensington and Greens Creek. The project has garnered interest from private equity groups. To further derisk project development, Grande Portage is committed to responsible mining practices. The company is focused on minimizing its environmental impact by avoiding the use of chemicals on-site, and instead shipping ore to off-site processing facilities. This approach also aligns with community concerns about environmental preservation in the Juneau area.
