James Bay Minerals (JBY) secures new claims in Nevada’s Battle Mountain district

Expansion boosts overall landholding for exploration and infrastructure flexibility

New acreage adds scope for project planning near the Independence Gold Project

James Bay Minerals (ASX:JBY), listed on the ASX 200 Resources and Materials Indexes, has expanded its footprint in the Battle Mountain district of Lander County, Nevada. The company has acquired additional claims located west of its Independence Gold Project, a move that increases the available exploration area and supports ongoing technical studies. This acquisition enhances the land position surrounding a strategic North American project site.

New Claims Enhance Project Infrastructure Options

The newly secured claims cover land adjacent to the existing project boundaries. This expansion is expected to support site development activities, particularly in areas such as mill site planning. The enlarged property provides further geological zones for study and exploration, contributing to James Bay’s broader asset framework within the region.

Landholding Increase Reflects Strategic Planning

With the additional acreage now under its control, James Bay Minerals has significantly increased its landholding in the Battle Mountain district. The extended territory introduces new scope for geological evaluation and field activity within the expanded boundary. The proximity to the Independence Gold Project enhances strategic alignment between the existing and new sites.

Scoping Study Supported by Regional Expansion

The expansion comes ahead of a planned Scoping Study, where having access to more land provides logistical and operational advantages. While the company continues its work around existing assets, the newly secured ground is expected to assist with infrastructure layout and potential project efficiencies in the surrounding area.

Company Focuses on Project Growth

According to company updates, focus remains on advancing project development within the Independence site area. The combination of increased land access and ongoing studies represents an effort to progress physical asset assessment in a well-established mining district known for gold production.
