Fairview Project
Kamloops Mining District, British Columbia, CanadaProject Description
The property is located within the Central Volcanic Facies of the Nicola Group, a narrow belt of alkaline volcanic and subvolcanic intrusive rocks, which are host to numerous alkalic porphyry deposits including both the Copper Mountain Mine to the south and the Iron Mask Batholith (Afton, Ajax)to the east. The claims are situated near the northern extent of the highly fertile Guichon Creek Batholith (Jurassic age quartz diorite, diorite), which is causative intrusion for the Highland Valley Cu-Au and Craigmont Cumines located to the south of the Property. Several small late cretaceous quartz-feldspar porphyry plugs (possibly Copper Creek Intrusions) intrude the Nicola Volcanics in the northwest portion of the claims.
The Company recently flew a 466.09-kilometer airborne magnetic survey over the property which highlighted several narrow north-south oriented magnetic low lineaments believed to represent limestone units which are coincident with historic skarn-style mineralization on the property. Additionally, three roughly concentric,1.2km x 1.4km, 2.4km x 2.2km, and 1.2km x 1km magnetic highs were identified which could be related to buried Guichon Creek Batholith intrusions at depth. Small satellite intrusive centers, or roof pendants to the Guichon Creek Batholith are known to extend at least as far north as the Fairview Property.
The main target for this property is the contact zone between buried intrusive centers and the Nicola Volcanic facies rocks, or limestone contacts with the same intrusive suite, and the magnetic products produced during the 2019 survey highlight possible zones where these contacts would exist. Additionally, rock sampling completed by the company during the2019 field season returned highly anomalous Copper and Zinc mineralization proximal to the historic Fairview min file, with results as high as 1.48% Cu, and 1.24% as well as 1.78% Zn.
