Johnson Tract Project

The Johnson Tract project is a polymetallic (gold, zinc, copper, silver, lead) deposit in advanced exploration. The project is operated by JT Mining Inc. (JT Mining), a subsidiary of Contango Ore Inc. The Johnson Tract project is located near tidewater, 125 miles (200 kilometers) southwest of Anchorage, Alaska. JT Mining acquired the project through a lease agreement with Cook Inlet Region, Inc. (CIRI).

The Johnson Tract covers 20,942 acres of land and is composed of two blocks: 1) the South Tract totals 11,342 acres of a fee simple land package, hosting the known JT Deposit, the existing airstrip, and camp; 2) the North Tract totals 9,600 acres of mineral estate and hosts several prospects. The Tracts are an inholding in Lake Clark National Park and the property was conveyed to CIRI under the terms of the Alaskan Native Claims Settlement Act and the Cook Inlet Land Exchange.

JT Mining is entering the advanced exploration phase to assess the development and economic potential of the JT Deposit. Plans include advancing engineering, technical studies, and permitting in support of the construction of an underground exploration drift for infill drilling to both expand and upgrade the resource, expansion of the airstrip to accommodate aircraft that can carry large equipment, and construction of an access road to a barge landing at the coast that allows for direct shipping opportunity. The locations of the proposed port site and transportation corridor within Lake Clark National Park to access the Johnson Tract are being evaluated.
