Nevada frontier exploration pace slow but steady

This paper reports that despite the depressed level of frontier exploration in the U.S., a few companies are focusing on underexplored but highly prospective Nevada. While many U.S. companies are shifting exploration dollars overseas because U.S. offshore and arctic areas are either disappointing or off limits, Nevada offers some of the same opportunities as the international arena but without the political risks, say explorationists there. In addition to large untapped structures with prospective reserves potential pegged by some at more than 700 million bbl, there are big acreage blocks available or exploration.
