Targets sit within approximately 5 kilometers of Kinross’ Fort Knox mine and mill in a district that has produced more than 16 million ounces of gold.
Excellent infrastructure with road access to the property and a vast ATV trail network across it.
Nearly three decades of work including 1,945 meters of core drilling, 4,678 meters of RC drilling, trenching, and drone magnetics.
Comprised of a 1,320-acre Uplands Mining Lease and 55 State of Alaska mining claims covering 2,287 acres.
Overview
Amanita is a 100% Contango-held gold exploration project in the Fairbanks Mining District, located approximately 10 kilometers from downtown Fairbanks. The project comprises a 1,320-acre Uplands Mining Lease and 55 State of Alaska mining claims covering 2,287 acres, with drill-ready targets sitting within about 5 kilometers of Kinross’ Fort Knox mine and mill.
The Fairbanks Mining District, discovered in 1902, has produced more than 16 million ounces of gold, and Amanita targets the district’s signature intrusion-related gold systems. More than US$5.1 million in exploration has been spent on the property to date.
Work from 1996 through 2024 includes 1,414 core samples, 637 rock samples, 933 soil samples, 1,950 meters of trenching, 9 core holes for 1,945 meters, 39 RC holes for 4,678 meters, and 16.5 square kilometers of drone magnetic coverage. Advanced studies include reprocessing of State airborne and electromagnetic surveys, petrographic analysis of host rocks and mineralization from core drilling, oriented core drilling with structural interpretation, LiDAR and drone-based magnetic surveys, and TerraSpec short wave infrared alteration analysis on 1,500 samples.
Key Project Metrics
Unlocking mineral potential
Amanita’s rationale is straightforward: intrusion-related gold targets in a 16-million-ounce district, a five-kilometer drive from an operating mine and mill, with a modern, layered dataset already in hand. The combination of drilling, geochemistry, drone magnetics, LiDAR, oriented core structural data, and SWIR alteration mapping gives Contango well-constrained drill targets. The path forward is drill testing the highest-priority targets defined by that compilation.
