Rio Grande Resources Secures Historical North Star and Little Wonder Mines and Confirms Mineralization With Returned Samples of Up to 35.9 g/t Gold and 248 g/t Silver
Rio Grande Resources staked 26 additional lode claims covering roughly 537 acres, folding the historic North Star and Little Wonder mines into its 100%-owned Winston Gold-Silver Project in Sierra County, New Mexico. Surface sampling returned mineralization in all seven 2026 North Star-Little Wonder samples, including 3.21 g/t gold with 351 g/t silver, and the company released never-published 2020 results of up to 35.9 g/t gold and 248 g/t silver. Structural interpretation suggests these veins may connect to the high-grade Poverty Creek system, though the company cautions that connection is unproven and requires mapping and drilling; an inaugural Phase 1 drill program is the stated next step.
