Location: The location of the Shorty Creek prospect is uncertain other than that it is near Livengood and presumably near Shorty Creek. For this record, the the prospect is assumed to be in upper Shorty Creek near the center of section 15, T. 7 N., R. 5 W. This may be the same as or an extension of the unnamed prospect (LG032) that was drilled on lower Winter Creek about 2.3 miles to the southwest, a prospect that itself if poorly known and located.
Geology: In 2005, Select Resources (Tri-Valley Corporation, 2008) began work on the Shorty prospect which had previously been explored by surface geochemistry and drilling. (It is unclear, however, whether this prior work was previously unreported here or at the unnamed prospect about 2 miles to the southwest (LH032). In 2005, Select Resources collected soil samples in an area of about a square mile over four aeromagnetic anomalies and identified four base and precious metal anomalies.
