Modern exploration of the McCoy district began in 1969 when Summa Corp. (owned by Howard Hughes) acquired the district. Summa conducted extensive exploration of the McCoy skarn deposit until 1977 when it sold its Nevada mining properties to Houston Oil and Minerals Corp., who explored the district from 1977 through 1980. In 1981, Gold Fields Mining Corp. leased the property for four years and explored the McCoy gold skarn. In September 1984, they dropped their lease and returned the property to Tenneco Minerals Corp., which had acquired Houston Oil and Minerals during their lease. In 1985, Tenneco conducted drilling, metallurgical testing, engineering, and feasibility studies. Tenneco started mining the McCoy gold orebody in February 1986 as an open-pit heap-leach operation and poured the first gold bullion in April 1986 . In October 1986, Echo Bay Mines Ltd. purchased the McCoy mine and claim block from Tenneco. Echo Bay continued with the exploration of the McCoy claim block. In January 1987, Echo Bay discovered the Cove gold-silver deposit through a systematic district exploration program, initiated by Tenneco in 1985, of stream-sediment, soil, and rock-chip sampling combined with geologic mapping, and drilling. The area of the Cove deposit was first targeted due to the presence of anomalous gold, silver, antimony, arsenic, and mercury in stream-sediment samples. Little previous prospecting or exploration had been conducted in the area despite its proximity to the McCoy deposit about 1 mile to the southeast. Further exploration revealed a strong soil anomaly of gold, silver, and arsenic. The gold soil anomaly was 2,800 feet long within an area of low relief and poor exposures. Trenching revealed low-grade gold mineralization at the surface, which was subsequently drilled by Echo Bay Mines Ltd.
