from Alto [v.atv] news release dated November 27, 2006:
The styles of alteration and mineralization at East Coldstream display many characteristics of Iron-Oxide-Copper-Gold (IOCG) deposits found in other parts of the world.
Recognition of this style of mineralization is significant since IOCG deposits are typically large deposits with substantial quantities of gold, copper and other metals.
