The Antler Deposit outcrops over 750m of strike within two patented mining claims. One of New World’s US-subsidiaries owns a 100% interest in these two patented claims (that cover a total of 40 acres) – where both the surface rights and the mineral rights are privately-owned. New World also holds a 100% interest in an additional 81 unpatented mining claims on adjoining federal lands (covering 1,365 acres), where mineral exploration and mining is overseen by the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”).

Deposit type

  • VMS

Summary:

The Antler Deposit is a high-grade, polymetallic, volcanogenic massive-sulphide (VMS) Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag-Au deposit. Mineralisation outcrops at surface over 750m of strike. The Deposit dips to the west- northwest at around 60 degrees.

While mineralisation is laterally and vertically continuous over the 500m of strike that has been drill-tested to date, to depths >700m, several thicker, steeply plunging “shoots” of high-grade mineralisation are evident. This thickening is interpreted to be due to structural repetition – primarily folding; while faults may also locally control thicker mineralisation.

Copper is the most valuable metal present, but it is anticipated that significant revenue will also be derived from zinc, silver, lead and gold.
