Dansey Project Area
The Dansey property is located at the eastern edge of the Late Triassic-Middle Jurassic Guichon Creek batholith and overlies the contact between Hybrid phase and Guichon variety rocks. Three main rock types are evident and comprise diorite, quartz diorite and granodiorite. Fracturing and shearing are abundant in the diorite and quartz diorite but markedly less in the granodiorite.
Mineralization on the Dansey property is associated with diorite and quartz diorite. Most of the mineralization occurs along fractures but the majority of it is associated with a second group of fractures that strike from 040 to 080 degrees. The main minerals include chalcopyrite and pyrite, with minor amounts of molybdenite, specularite, chalcocite and bornite. Malachite, azurite and chrysocolla occur as secondary minerals. Areas of moderate copper-molybdenum mineralization (>0.1 per cent copper) occur near the contact between diorite and quartz diorite with weak zones of copper-molybdenum mineralization scattered throughout the diorite.
Trenching has exposed disseminations and blebs of chalcopyrite, pyrite, bornite, hematite, magnetite and molybdenite mineralization in and adjacent to several northeast faults and shear zones in quartz diorite. The faults and shears mostly dip northwest at moderate to high angles. The shears are characterized by intensely chloritized and sericitized quartz diorite and vary from 1.5 to 9 metres wide. Near the shears are random fractured zones with pyrite and minor chalcopyrite on fracture planes.
