Rosy, YT
Highlights
- 61 km2 road-accessible property is located 77 km east of Whitehorse, surrounding the Red Mountain Molybdenum deposit (owned by Tintina Mines Ltd.)
- Numerous low sulphidation epithermal quartz-carbonate veins occur on the property
- Anomalous gold in soil over 3 x 2.5 km with untested high priority follow up areas with significant gold- and copper-in-soil
- Rock samples have returned up to 35.92 g/t gold with 32.4 g/t silver
- Potential for regional-scale epithermal vein mineralization
Rosy Geology & Mineralization
The Rosy property is predominantly underlain by Devonian to Mississippian aged metasedimentary and metavolcanic rock of the Yukon-Tanana Terrane. The southern end of the property has been intruded by 184.28 ± 0.07 Ma Early Jurassic Sawtooth Pluton, which is composed of weakly foliated hornblende-biotite granodiorite. In the northern part of the property, the 81.2 ± 0.9 Ma Late Cretaceous quartz monzonite Boswell Pluton, which hosts the Red Mountain Molybdenum deposit, intrudes Yukon-Tanana rocks. Numerous cream-to-pink weathering quartz-feldspar porphyry dykes cut the Sawtooth Pluton and are commonly flanked by quartz-carbonate veins and/or carbonate altered wallrock. Primary structural features in the southern part of the property are a series of strong north-south trending linears and less obvious, secondary northeast-southwest trending linears that cut the primary structural trend.
Gold and silver mineralization is associated with orange weathered quartz-ankerite-calcite-sericite-arsenopyrite-pyrite bearing veins. The mineralized veins typically display crustiform, colloform and cockade textures all indicative of a low-sulphidation epithermal system.
