Immediate Exploration targets
Poprhyry-related Quartz-Sericite-Pyrite (QSP) Alteration Zone *
Diane-South-STG-Victoria_3Dview_V2.wmv
Original Diane Target
Highly-mineralized Au-Ag-Cu zone, potential upper system above a buried porphyry source
2023 airborne identified large zone of demagnetization within broader mag high belt
2020 IP survey identified corresponding chargeability & resistivity high
RED: IP Chargeability anomaly (585 m x 325 m) from near-surface to ~450m depth
BLUE: Mag low anomaly (1.3 km x 0.92 km) from near-surface with max depth of 1.11 km
Anomalies beneath extent of 1988 9-hole 60m shallow drill program
Strong Copper-Gold intercepts in 1988: 24.7 gpt Au (0.75m), >= 1% Cu (0.61m, 0.92m, 1.0m, 1.22m)
Strong surface sampling from trenches: 27.19% Cu, 56.71 gpt Au
1988 drill logs include sericite, quartz, pyrite-limonite
Clay-alteration and sericite alteration visible at surface in trenches
South Target
~200m South of the Original Diane target
Extension of potential buried porphyry and epithermal-related zone of argillic/advanced argillic
Similar zone of demagnetization, IP chargeability & resisitivity high, and radiometric signature as Original Diane
Clay alteration visible in historic trench
Strong surface sampling from trench: 5.28% Cu
Victoria Adit
Similar mag low & potential zone of demagnitization extending below Victoria adit to depth
Adit discovered late 1800's
Historic sampling up to 56.71 gpt Au, 19.5 gpt Ag, 14% Cu
1989 lone 80 m true depth drill hole encountered Diorite twice
No IP conducted over area to-date
Adit dump pile remains accessible
Epithermal Zone Targets*
Eastern Rhyolite
Newly identified area of epithermal alteration (outlined in red)
Radiometrics confirmed class 9 green rhyolite
Previously thought to host VMS-related mineralization
Well-documented polymetallic Ag-Pb-ZN-Au-Cu mineralization
2023 documentation of epithermal quartz banding
Host of 1927 Leadville Ag-Pb-Zn production shaft
Adularia visible on surface at Comstock showing
Adjacent to suspected argillic alteration zone
Charmer Shaft
0.61 gpt Au, 3.1% Cu
Leadville Shaft
1.86 oz Ag, 16% Pb, 1% Zn
Comstock Showing
428 gpt Ag, 0.74% Zn, 1.2% Cu
