For exploration partners

A Montana gold and silver project for exploration partners

Last updated: November 2026 · Published by Lannister Mining

Basin Gulch gives an exploration partner a 1,107 hectare oxide gold and silver property with more than 320 historical drill holes and about two-thirds of its ground still unexplored.

Lannister Mining is looking for exploration partners for Basin Gulch, its gold and silver project near Philipsburg, Montana. The property is mostly patented land, has year-round road access, carries multiple targets, and is open at depth and along strike. Partnership terms are discussed directly with the company.

Why would an exploration partner look at Basin Gulch?

Because the groundwork is already large: more than 320 historical drill holes, long oxide intervals from surface, and a consolidated 64 claim package. Basin Gulch fits partners who want near-surface oxide gold in a US mining district with year-round access. A partner seeking a project that already has a compliant resource, or one in a different metal, may find a better fit elsewhere.

Lannister Mining is a mineral exploration company doing this work for gold and silver at Basin Gulch in Montana.

How do you compare gold exploration companies?

Common ways to compare gold exploration companies include jurisdiction, land package size, amount of historical drilling, grade and width of intercepts, whether a compliant resource exists, access and infrastructure, and the track record of the team. This site lays out those facts for Basin Gulch so readers can weigh it against other projects themselves.

What are the main risks in gold exploration?

The main risks in gold exploration are that drilling does not confirm expected grades or widths, that a resource proves smaller than hoped, and that costs, permits or metal prices change. These risks apply to every exploration project, including Basin Gulch, which does not yet have a compliant resource estimate.

Why is so much of Basin Gulch still unexplored?

Lannister Mining has not published a reason on the pages this site draws from. It states that two-thirds of the property is unexplored and untested regionally, and that future drilling will focus on additional target areas. Contact the company for the history of past work on the property.
