Two mineralized drill targets, previously mined, or identified during mining, are:
- The historic Crown Point Mine, that ceased production in 1940 under the war measures regulations
- the Shea Zone, a reported 30 foot mineralized zone intersected in a historic drill hole 300 feet south of the Crown Point, but was never followed up.
Crown Point produced 670,000 ounces of silver and 12,780,000 lb of lead from 63,908 tons mined . US Bureau of Mines reported silver grade was 10.61 oz/ton at the Crown Point.
The Bridging The Gap Project abuts the historic Bunker Hill Mine to the east and ASARCO's historic Page Mine to the west.
Additional drilling is needed to adequately test the historical zones.
