Sniper Resources Ltd. is a Nevada gold company.
The Founder and President is Mr.Scott D. Baxter, who was also President and CEO of Tone Resources Ltd. (TNS.V),which was acquired by Robert McEwen's US Gold Corp.(UXG). Scott was the founder of Tone Resources and was responsible for the funding of the company. He has over 20 years experience in gold exploration in Nevada.
Sniper's co-founder and Vice President of Exploration is Douglas H. McGibbon, formerly Chief Geologist with Rayrock Mines, Inc. and Glamis Gold's (now Goldcorp) Marigold Mining Company. Doug is credited with discovering more than 10 million ounces Au, and has 27 years of exploration experience in the Nevada gold country.
Sniper presently controls three properties, which are known as Overland Pass, Guild, and ReHot. In total they comprise a total of 218 lode mining claims, or about 4360 acres. Each of the properties has excellent potential for hosting economic deposits.
Overland Pass is located about 60 miles south of Elko, on the Carlin Trend and immediately adjacent to Barrick's multi-million ounce Bald Mountain Mine, which is presently in operation as well as being the focus of recently-expanded exploration activity by Barrick.
Guild is about 50 miles east of Tonopah, and is also a Carlin-type target, with ore grade Au in jasperoid present at both ends of the property and geochemistry suggests a Carlin-type mineralizing system.
The ReHot Claims are wholly owned by Sniper. They are located in the Hot Spring Range north of Golconda, between the Pinson and Getchell Mines (actively being explored and mined respectively) on the east, and the Dutch Flat area to the west, which has recently been drilled by Piedmont Mining. It is more a wildcat prospect than the above properties, but also has potential for both distal-disseminated and deeper Carlin-type mineralization.
