Bornite mineralization occurs over ~4.6 m in feldspar porphyry within Toodoggone volcanics, accompanied by epidote–serpentine–calcite veining. Quartz-carbonate veins and float samples carry chalcopyrite, pyrite, hematite, and similar sulphide assemblages.
1968 grab: 0.42% Cu, 9.93 g/t Ag
2004-05 floats: up to 11.60 g/t Au, 39.2 g/t Ag, 0.315% Cu; another >1% Cu & Zn, 0.723 g/t Au, 29.8 g/t Ag
0.4 m chip: 0.260 g/t Au, 22.9 g/t Ag, 0.469% Cu
Directly classified as porphyry Cu style with disseminated sulphides in porphyry host rock, indicating potential for porphyry-style systems.
Rock samples from Hazelton Group volcanics contain anomalous silver and copper, with skarn-style mineralization inferred despite limited detail on alteration or sulphide assemblages. The results suggest localized high-grade enrichment typical of contact metasomatic zones.
Sample 18388: 2.11% Cu, 106.0 g/t Ag
Sample 18397 (500 m northwest): 1.29% Cu, 36.0 g/t Ag
