Copper mineralization occurs as an intrusive-related deposit within the Contact batholith and is observed in quartz veins within structural zones and in the surrounding granodiorite. The copper content is highest in the quartz veins, particularly where chalcocite is present, but grades outward into granodiorite where copper minerals occur in quartz veinlets, fracture coatings and disseminations. Mineralization is in the form of tenorite, chrysocolla and cuprite, and lesser chalcocite and covellite. Oxidation is observed to depths of 2,000 feet in drilling.The model for mineralization at the Project is a porphyry copper system. Although a porphyry copper deposit has not been discovered in the area, the mineralization present is consistent with a porphyry copper model.Porphyry copper systems involve the shallow emplacement of calc-alkaline multi-phase batholiths. These systems are commonly located in arcs associated with subduction and are also emplaced during extension following an orogeny
