Geologists who worked on Red Mountain believe there is gold in breccia associated with quartz veins and within hornsfel quartz fractures. Gold was also observed above faults in fractured rocks. Gold in granite consisted of zones of altered and fractured granite with an abundant tourmaline and arsenopyrite. Overall sampling density on REV property is low.
The property is considered by the past project geologists to have several types of gold mineralization caused by hydrothermal volcanic action. In 2002 Anna Fonseca stated the source was a volcanic site to the west of hole DD 95-01 for geochemical anomalies. There are two major faults in the Saddle Zone Area assumed by Anna Fonseca to be inclined about 320 degrees from the surface toward the northeast.
Past exploration has focused on mainly the top zone of the Saddle Zone. It is not uncommon with type of mineralization in this Region for multiple zones to be separated by 100 to 200 meters as seen by Stratagold’s effort using 3D modeling, where they built zone specific models. About 50% of the Saddle Zone has been explored in only the top zone with 5 holes going into the next zone. Al Doherty had recommended a $1 million grid pattern exploration to wrap up exploring this area, but ASC did not direct that effort and instead focused on their property
