Shane Lasley Rock samples collected from Monte Cristo in 2010 assayed up to 4.2 g/t gold and sampling of talus accumulated at the base of steep rock faces returned grades as high as 3 g/t gold. A new Australian company has entered the Alaska gold exploration scene with a deal to acquire Monte Cristo, a 125-square-mile (324 square kilometers) underexplored project in the Kahiltna Terrane area. Consisting of 500 state mining claims, Monte Cristo covers a 35-mile-long (55 kilometers) under-explored stretch of Southcentral Alaska east and south of two projects with multi-million-ounce gold resources – GoldMining Inc.'s Whistler gold-silver-copper project and Nova Minerals Ltd. Estelle gold project.
