| Basis for focus area |
ARDF occurrences, prospective geology, geochemical anomalies. |
| Identified resources |
None. |
| Production |
None recorded. |
| Status |
Current and past exploration. |
| Estimated resources |
No published resources, however significant likelihood of resources at Fort Knox. |
| Geologic maps |
Sporadic 1:250,000 scale mapping across the region, with postage stamps of higher-quality map coverage. |
| Geophysical data |
Inadequate aeromagnetic and aeroradiometric coverage, will be partly addressed by planned Phase 1 Earth MRI coverage acquisition. |
| Favorable rocks and structures |
Evolved granites such as the Goodpastor, Gardiner Creek granites, aplitic, granite and pegmatitic ilmenite-series granites. |
| Deposits |
N/A: significant potential for future resource definition at Fort Knox. |
| Evidence from mineral occurrences |
ARDF occurrences include Fort Knox, Banner, Section 21, Quartz Porphyry, etc. |
| Geochemical evidence |
Anomalous HUC's for W, Ta, Au, Mo, Au in rock chips and stream sediments. |
| Geophysical evidence |
No data. |
| Evidence from other sources |
High prospectivity determination based on Karl and others, 2016. |
| Cover thickness and description |
Unknown. |

| New data needs |
New mapping, geophysics, and updated geochemical sampling. |
| Geologic mapping and modeling needs |
Mapping at 1:100,000 scale or better. |
| Geophysical survey and modeling needs |
Aeromagnetics and radiometrics collected at Rank 2. |
| Digital elevation data needs |
IfSAR coverage is complete over entire focus area. |
