The Rochester property is located in Pershing County, Nevada. It is comprised of the Rochester deposit, the nearby Nevada Packard deposit, in addition to the associated heap leach facilities. Access to the property is provided by an all weather 3 mile stretch of road which branches off the Unionville-Lovelock County road, 9 miles from where the county road intersects Interstate 80 at the Orena-Rochester exit. Rochester is a gold and silver mine, exploited by conventional drill-and-blast, truck-and-loader open pit mining methods. Ore is then crushed and stacked onto heap leach pads, the pregnant leach solution then reports to the Merrill-Crowe processing plant to ultimately produce a gold-silver doré.
