About the Atlin West Project
The Atlin West Project is underlain by undivided sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Cache Creek Complex, which have been subsequently intruded by late Cretaceous felsic volcanic and intrusive rocks. The area is bounded by the Nahlin fault and cross-cut by east-west and northwest trending faults.
These structures are known to be associated with base and precious metals in the region, specifically the The Engineer and Yellowjacket Mines. Mineralisation on the property includes the Dundee/Table Mountain showing, which is comprised of northeast trending veins with galena and chalcopyrite, assaying 2.58 ounces per tonnes of silver, 26% lead and 13.9% copper in 1967. Limited work has been reported on the property and additional exposures are, as yet, untested as glacial recession has progressed in the past several decades since this work was last conducted.
Details and characteristics to hone exploration can be inferred from known mineralization in the regional analogues.
The Engineer Mine was in production in the 1920's and 1930's, and produced in excess of 18,000 ounces of gold and 9,000 ounces of silver. Production was at realised grades exceeding 39 grammes per tonne of gold and 20 grammes per tonne of silver. A mineral resource estimate published in 2018 stated the Engineer Mine contains an inferred resource of 41,000 tonnes grading 19.0 grammes per tonne of gold, using a five gramme per tonne cut-off grade, which equated to 25,000 ounces of gold.
At the Yellowjacket Mine, an historic estimate stated 133,000 tonnes at 5.8 grammes per tonne of gold, totalling 24,000 ounces of gold at a 1.5 gramme per tonne of gold cut-off (Price, B.J. and Dandy, L., 2009; Technical Report on the Yellowjacket Gold Project; 43-101 Report). The 2009 Yellowjacket Inferred resource estimate was done for a previous operator according to NI 43-101 standards at that time. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource and neither the current owner, nor the Company is treating the historical estimate as a current mineral resource.
