Overview
Property consists of 136 claims totaling approximately 2,600 hectares, covering the headwaters of several heavily placer mined creeks within the Sixtymile placer goldfields.
A total of 7 bedrock zones or float trains of variably bleached, clay altered and silicified quartz breccias, stockworks and veins have been identified to date.
The presence of occasionally intense silicification, breccias and stockworks with vuggy quartz, fluorite, crustiform banding, cockade breccias, and extremely fine-grained sulphide mineralization, is together strongly suggestive of an epithermal origin for alteration and mineralization noted on the property.
Rock sampling has returned values up to 1.67 g/t gold and 12.3 g/t silver.
Soil sampling has returned values up to 0.92 g/t gold and 2.4 g/t silver.
Trace element geochemistry shows variably anomalous amounts of arsenic and antimony associated with elevated precious metals values.
Detail
Mineralization, alteration and textures exposed on surface are consistent with a partially eroded low sulphidation epithermal system.
Rock sampling at Poker Creek returned up to 0.812 ppm Au, 3.1 ppm Ag and 2,640 ppm As from an angular silicified and brecciated graphitic schist float with disseminated, wispy and fracture filling pyrite.
Sampling at Glacier Creek returned up to 0.401 ppm Au and 1,594 ppm As from bleached, clay altered and heavily silicified brecciated quartzite outcrop.
High-resolution airborne magnetics and radiometrics followed by mapping, prospecting, soil sampling and trenching will supply sufficient data to allow for drill stage planning.
