Overview
The Agnew property is located in the Birch-Uchi greenstone belt. The property is prospective for orogenic gold, VMS, and LCT pegmatite mineral systems.
The western portion of the claim group covers bimodal volcanics, north of the past producing South Bay Mine (1.6 Mt @ 2.3% Cu and 14.5% Zn).1
The central and western portion is along strike of the past producing Uchi Mine trend (past production of >100,000 oz Au) and contains the only known gold occurrence on the property (samples of up to 13.0 g/t at Mimi point showing; n=10, avg=5.15 g/t Au).2,3
The western portion of the property is within 10 kilometers of the peraluminous Allison Lake Batholith and is considered prospective for LCT pegmatites.
The property is accessible by logging roads from the north and boat in the central portion. Previous work in the area by Angold Resources Ltd. included a VTEM survey and structural interpretation.
