Comments | Exploration by European Goldfields found that the Trimpoiele-Fata Baii deposit, immediately to the north of Larga, comprises narrow quartz veins within a large argillic alteration halo and confirms the presence of underlying, extensive gold-copper porphyry. Drillholes returned significant intercepts of porphyry style gold-copper mineralization, including 1,300 m grading 0.75 g/t Au and 0.1719 percent Cu. Quartz veins in fine-grained andesite. |
