Mineralization within the Goldrange Project occurs as structurally controlled orogenic gold mineralization ranging from mesozonal in the west of the project to epizonal in the eastern parts of the project. Mineralization occurs as discrete quartz (±carbonate) veins, quartz-sulfide breccias, replacement zones, and quartz stockworks. Mineralization is hosted within volcanic, sedimentary, and intrusive rocks. Veins on the project can be up to >1m in width and >150m in strike and are commonly parallel to shear zones, thrust faults, and reverse faults.
Gold mineralization within the western part (mesozonal) of the project occurs primarily within discrete quartz (±carbonate) with pyrite, arsenopyrite, and chalcopyrite with total sulfide abundancies ranging from trace to 5%. Pathfinder element signatures include As, Ag, W, Te, and Bi and alteration minerals include chlorite, fuchsite, and ankerite.
Gold mineralization within the eastern part (epizonal) of the project occurs within discrete narrow veins often occurring in swarms, sulfide breccias, replacement zones, and quartz stockworks which are limited to intrusive rocks. Mineralization occurs predominantly with arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite with minor pyrite, pyrrhotite, marcasite, trace amounts of minor galena, sphalerite, digenite, stibnite and molybdenite. Total sulfide abundancies range from trace to 80%. Trace element signatures include As, Cu, Ag, Sb, Bi, Te, with lesser W, Pb, Zn, and Mo.
There are several historic gold occurrences across the project and despite historic hand mining activities, there has been no drill testing across the Goldrange Project.
