Exploration History

1911 Preston East Gold Mining Company sunk an inclined shaft to -50 ft. and completed some drifting. 1919 Clifton Porcupine Mines, Limited completed 400 ft. of drifting from the 70 ft. inclined shaft and put up a raise 21 ft. into the bottom of the shaft. on the No. 7 vein. Work continued into 1920. No information available for 1921. 1922 Clifton Porcupine Mines, Limitied deepened the inclined shaft to -228 ft. with 100 ft of lateral development on the 100 ft. level and 50 ft. on the 196 ft. level. A 30 t/d mill was erected and mining started in Sept from the 100 ft. level. Production ceased Jan. 1924. 1946 Preston East Dome Mines, Limited completed an extensive program of diamond drilling on the neighbouring property of Cincinnati-Porcupine Mines, Limited under the terms of an aggreement with Cincinnati. Numerous interesting intersections were obtained in this drilling particularly in a porphyry mass lying below Prestons west porphyry. 1948 Preston East drove a cross cut from the 9th Midcamp into the Cincinnati property and completed 2182 ft. of diamond drilling to pilot development in 1949 No work is reported for the property between 1950 and 1953 1994 Prospectors working for J.P. Sheridan completed prospecting and stripping around the boundaries of the Cincinnati Porcupine Claim 1954 Preston East Dome Mines, Limited completed 4 parallel, horizontal diamond drill holes totaling 2697 ft. from the 23rd level of the Preston East Dome Mine onto the Cincinnati property. This work located a porphyry body but no mineralization of interest.

Geology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (G Seim) - The Cincinnati prospect consists of a single 40 acre patented claim. The claim is entirely underlain by Preston West porphyry. The porphyry has a maximum diameter of 3400 ft. on surface. Ferguson (1968) states that the porphyry has been intersected at depth in mine working and that the thickness of the porphyry mass decreases at depth. The Preston West porphyry is overlain by the Centre porphyry and underlain by the Lower West porphyry. Collectively the 3 porphyry bodies are known as the Preston West Porphyries.
