Hazelton Gold Property, BC
The Claims comprise 28 mineral claims covering an area of approximately 8,792 hectares, lying within the Omineca Mining District of British Columbia. The Claims are located immediately northeast of Hazelton, British Columbia, at the southern extent of the Skeena Mountains; lying to the east of the Skeena River.
The Claims consist of two main claim blocks, known as: Hazelton North and Hazelton South.
The Hazelton South Property is located approximately seven kilometres northeast of Hazleton, British Columbia in the Omineca Mining Division. Access to the property is gained by paved and gravel mining roads, which transect the Hazelton South claims proper. Secondary mining roads provide access to the known mineralized zones.
The property contains six quartz vein systems which have seen mining during the periods from 1913 to 1918, the early 1950's and the late 1980's. Past B.C. government production records lists the recovery of 495,097 grams of silver, 528 grams of gold, 38,232 kilograms of lead, and 10,543 kilograms of zinc from 348 tonnes of mined ore.
The Hazelton South vein system contains at least 15 gold-silver-base metal bearing veins in which only the ore shoots of highest-grade have been partially mined. Mineralization consisting of gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, and cadmium, amongst other metals, occur mainly within quartz veins that can be traced for over 100 metres. The property is considered to have good potential for outlining additional zones of vein-related silver-lead, zinc mineralization as well as having a high potential for the discovery of new zones of enriched gold mineralization associated with the multiple vein systems.
The Hazelton North Gold mineralization conforms to a broadly defined intrusion related class of deposits with gold mineralization hosted within a thermal aureole. The distinctive features of this class of gold deposits are sheeted arrays of parallel, single-stage quartz veins which are found over 10s to 100s of metres and preferentially located in the pluton's cupola. These types of veins are also described as "reduced intrusion-related gold systems" represented by the Fort Knox, Pogo, Donlin Creek, and Dublin Gulch deposits in Alaska and the Yukon.
