Lode Metals Corp. announced the commencement of trading and a summary of its high grade Cracker Creek gold project located in northeastern Oregon, USA. Lode Metals optioned the Cracker Creek property in November 2020, an orogenic, high grade vein hosted gold deposit located in northeastern Oregon.

The Cracker Creek property is a district consolidation of 5 historic mines that collectively produced over 400,000 ounces of gold from the 1890's through the 1930's. The last historic resource (Arrowhead, 1999) estimated a Proven and Probable resource of 95,200 ounces at 10.2 grams per ton (g/t) and 297,900 ounces at 9.6 g/t in the Inferred category. (1,2) continuous mineralization which was selectively mined for higher grades. (1,2) This +2.9 km (9,500ft) mineral trend includes main veins, sub-parallel secondary structures and cross structures many that were historically recognized, but not mined.

(1,2) Recovered and digitized significant historic data including drilling, surface and underground sampling, mapping and underground workings to aid in exploration advancement. Drill ready targets (permit to drill was issued in September 2021). Lode Metals Corp.'s Flagship Project, Cracker Creek is located in the prolific gold belt of the Blue Mountains in northeastern Oregon.

The project consolidates five mines that have historically produced over 400,000 ounces of gold. Cracker Creek is an orogenic, high grade vein hosted gold deposit that has nearly continuous mineralization over 2.9 km (9,500 ft) on strike (horizontally) and 760 m (2,500 ft) down dip (vertically). Cracker Creek was mined from 1891 through 1934.

Later exploration in the 1980's and 1990's outlined a significant "historic resource" nearly equal to the historic production. (1,2) . Lode acquired an option for the Cracker Creek Project in November 2020 after recognizing that a significant historic resource might also have significant exploration potential as suggested by the type of system, an extensive project data package combined with a favorably changing attitude towards mining in eastern Oregon.

The 3,285 acres land package includes 1,545 acres of Patented mining claims and fee properties and 128 Federal mining claims. The option controls about 4.7 km of the Mother Lode Vein that has been historically mined over 2.9 km (9,500 ft) horizontally and over 760 m (2,500 feet) vertically.
