Deposit Potential: Redbed Copper Model



Shell Creek exhibits potential to host multi-element mineralization, including significant copper and gold.

Gold potential:


At Shell Creek, shale hosted gold-copper bearing quartz veins are related to five saddle reef structures over a 6 km distance. Visible gold occurs within boulders of the quartz veins with values of 3.8 g/t to 9.3 g/t Au from quartz float, and up to 2.7 g/t Au in soil. Visible gold has been documented in 1 of 5 of the gold-bearing quartz saddle reef structures.

Copper potential:


The geological model for the copper mineralization is consistent with redbed copper systems such as the Keweenaw Peninsula deposits (Michigan, USA), the Coppermine River area (Northwest Territories), the Sustut copper deposit (British Columbia) (Minfile 094D 064), and the Mountain Grill and Radovan occurrences (Alaska).
