Hanging Wall Watch - Sulphurets Dome booster rocket?There is a lot of interst being generated in regard to a recently completed drill program that occurred about 5 kilometers south of the treaty creek property line.
Pretium expanded a 1200 meter exploratory test of an anomaly sitting on the side of the mountain to a 9800 meter one. That is by a factor of 8. Obviously there initial test generated enough excitement to deserve a pretty agressive followup.
What makes the hangin wall test so interesting. It is proximate to the bruce jack fault that runs on up into the treaty creek property. - towards the PSZ-konkin zone. It is also a potential VOK sister or satellite deposit.
The Hanging Wall zone is situated precariously on the side of the mountain so it was passed over when the cheaper and more accessible targets proximate to the VOK zone were being tested. 4 and one half kilometers north of the Valley of the Kings deposit and just on the other southern side of the glacier from the snowfield deposit.. Thus the Hanging wall zone is less than 5 kilometers from the sulphurets dome anomaly on the treaty creek. Sulphurets dome is also proximate to the bruce jack fault. It sits within a stone throw of what rudy fronk called a higher grade
a new blind discovery found in the upper 200 meters of hole 62. This concept of two target zones was based on what appeared to be an intrusive unit not previously recognized at Iron Cap juxtaposed along a fault to the main Iron Cap deposit. With the benefit of additional drill holes, we now believe the upper blind discovery is a previously unrecognized mineralized intrusion potentially expanding the size of the Iron Cap deposit significantly. The interpreted fault zone identified at the base of the upper zone is now recognized as the sheared margin of a breccia pipe whose limits have not been fully defined. The breccia pipe appears to represent a younger high-level or epithermal event superimposed on the Iron Cap Porphyry Gold-Copper deposit, implying additional porphyry potential at depth.
Drill results for the hanging wall zone are coming and they could have an explosive impact on the evaluation of treaty creek potential. Keep your fingers crossed.
PS the sulphurets dome anomaly is proximate to the PSZ konkin zone .. I suspect that ken konkin will be drilling within a stones throw of the sulphurets dome anomaly when he drills the PSZ-konkin zone next year. The sulphurets dome zone is on the other side of the glacier and maybe marginally to the west of PSZ-konkin..
