The Geology at the New Vulcan Hill Project Shows an Impressive, Highly Mineralized Footprint
At the NVH Project, all indicators are showing: Porphyry system ( Cu/Mo/Au), Highly Mineralized/Polymetallic Skarn, Extensive Metamorphism, High Sulphidation, Highly Mineralized Igneous Intrusive, Large Limestone Intrusive Contact, Large Magnetite Deposit (content is Fe/Cu/chalcopyrite/bornite/Au/Ag/W/garnet/high-sulfides…), historical evidence of 1/4 miles exposed W, disseminated Au values at and in 3 recently opened adits/indicated presence of Pd, Pt, very good Pb, Zn presence, large deposit of Limestone to depth, quartz in abundance…..
The New Vulcan Hill Project is located approx. 28 miles north of Coeur d’Alene in Bonner County, Idaho. The project is in the Pend Oreille/Lakeview District, started in 1890’s with previous production of over 2.0 million ounces of silver (Savage, 1967).
In 2016, a surface geological mapping/sampling program, underground portal rehabilitation and mapping/sampling of 3 tunnels, an induced polarization survey along the lower access road were completed. Based on the favorable results from the work, a plan of operations was drafted for submittal to the US Forest Service for surface drilling from 6 sites for a total of 3,600 feet. The area lies within a 4 square mile area that is 2 miles wide by 2 miles long which hosts mineralization that is polymetallic in nature. It is anomalous in silver-gold, base metal narrow veins, polymetallic carbonate replacement mineralization (copper-tungsten-silver-gold) with associated granodiorite intrusive porphyry style mineralization (molybdenum-copper with associated silver-gold). Geologically, the majority of the prospects in the project area are located within the Cambrian aged Lakeview limestone and Cretaceous aged granodiorite intrusive stock. Potential of the exploration property is excellent for a new deposit from different settings (shallow Mo-Cu porphyry, large polymetallic carbonate replacement system, and several new base metal, Ag-Au veins).
