Active prospect 20042011, limited information; this project was aquired by Erdenet Gold Inc. from Gallant Minerals Ltd. In 2005 (Erdene Gold Inc., 2006). Ground magnetic and gradient survey (2005) show very strong NESW and NWSE trending linear features which intersect strong alteration and associated Cu mineralization. Two target areas of coincident silicification, sericite/pyrite alteration and elevated Cu in soil and chargeablitiy outlined. Target areas in the NESW trending structure in the granite porphyry in SW Central area and in felsic volcanics in the W central area. |
