Kent Exploration Inc, is a mineral exploration company building a portfolio of properties highly prospective for gold and silver mineralization in the western United States. The Company’s main objective is the acquisition of, and financing of exploration on, prospective mineral properties in areas of low political risk, close to support facilities and with ready, all weather access.
The Company has acquired three properties that meet this criteria. The Company's 800 acre, 100% optioned all weather accessible Rosebud property, which is highly prospective for gold-silver mineralization, lies just 27 miles N.E. of Kingman Arizona and only an hour and a half drive from Las Vegas. The property has 2,600 feet of historic underground workings to a depth of 400 feet and along strike for approximately 600 feet, on the Southwick double vein that has a known strike length of approximately 1 mile, from which samples, the highest grading 4.98 opt/Au and 6 opt/Ag, were taken from the 100 level in 2005.
 | | On 7 September 2007, drilling commenced on a 1,500 meter HQ diamond drill program, with the first three drill locations targeting beneath the historic high grade zones in the Southwick double vein. |
Ivanhoe Creek, in Nevada's highly prolific Carlin Trend, lies approximately 12 miles S.E. of Newmont's Midas Mine and 3 miles north of Great Basin Gold's Hollister Development, where Great Basin reports it expects to produce approximately 160,000 oz/Au per year commencing in 2008.
 | | A C$600,000 diamond drill program, with the first hole, DH-2, testing for Midas-style gold-silver mineralization at depth, commenced on the Company's 50% optioned Ivanhoe Creek property on May 4, 2007.
On 20 September 2007, Senator Minerals, the operator, reported that drilling had intersected wide zones of anomalous gold and silver mineralization. |
In late 2006, the Company acquired a 100% mining lease option on the Flagstaff property, which is readily accessible from the town of Northport, WA, and only 15 miles south of Rossland, BC. This property, which is highly prospective for gold-silver mineralization hosts an historic, 1,300,000 ton barite deposit where, during the drill program defining the barite resource in 1981, CE Minerals reported a 60 ft intersection that graded approximately 1.307oz/Au per ton over 60ft.
Note - The Company has not done sufficient work to verify the above historic grades and as such they should not be relied upon.
