Geological Summary

The area investigated is underlain by felsic to mafic pyroclastic rocks of the Triassic aged Kutcho Formation. The Kutcho volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits are located 3 kilometres north of the study area. The largest of these deposits contains open pit mineable reserves of 17 000 000 tonnes grading 1.6 per cent copper, 2.3 per cent zinc and 29.2 grams per tonne silver. Kutcho Formation rocks have undergone greenschist facies metamorphism and have been folded into large scale, tight, inclined folds plunging shallowly to the west. Intense sericite-carbonate alteration is typical of mineralized areas.
