Allied Nevada has various exploration sites throughout Nevada. The company's Hycroft openpit mine is located about 80 km west of Winnemucca, in north-west Nevada, and, with the implementation of the expansion, is expected to be one of the largest gold producers in the US and among the largest silver producers worldwide.
