Basin Gulch property
The Basin Gulch property is a 1,107 hectare land package of 11 patented and 53 unpatented mining claims near Philipsburg, Montana.
Lannister Mining describes the property as primarily on patented land, with a core of patented claims surrounded by unpatented claims. It has year-round access from Philipsburg on paved and well-maintained gravel roads, is about one hour from Butte, and has multiple high priority targets near the historic resource area.

Basin Gulch is in west-central Montana, in the heart of the historic Philipsburg Mining District. According to Lannister Mining, that district led the original US silver boom in the late 1800s, and the company describes it as a safe jurisdiction.
The land package totals 1,107 hectares. Patented claims are private land where title has passed from the US federal government to the holder; unpatented claims grant mineral rights on federal land.
| Item | Figure | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Patented mining claims | 11 | Form the core of the property |
| Unpatented mining claims | 53 | Surround the patented core |
| Total land package | 1,107 hectares | Consolidated package |
| Explored to date | About one-third | Two-thirds still unexplored |
Yes. The Basin Gulch property has year-round access from Philipsburg, Montana, on paved and well-maintained gravel roads, and is only about one hour from Butte. Lannister Mining highlights this as making the site accessible and open for exploration work in every season.
Year-round access matters to an exploration program because drilling, sampling and logistics do not have to stop for winter road closures, which can affect more remote properties.
With about two-thirds of the Basin Gulch property still unexplored, Lannister Mining sees significant exploration upside. Future drilling will concentrate on additional mineralized target areas within the property, alongside work on the historically drilled zone.
