Dec 14, 2023 (Therese Pettigrew) - The East Zone has returned up to 4.16 g/t Au from grab samples. Gold mineralization is hosted within carbonate altered sediments which include conglomerates with associated quartz-carbonate veining and local stockwork striking roughly the same orientation to that of the main zone. Alteration is made of up strong silicification with pervasive iron carbonate. Mineralization consists of trace to 6% disseminated to stringer pyrite with trace to 2% arsenopyrite also present. Cubic pyrite is common throughout the alteration system and appears to be an important component for the presence of gold. Preliminary interpretation indicates gold mineralization occurs at the contact with mafic volcanics and sediments (Metals Creek Resources news release July 6, 2023).
