Category:
Exploration project

Location:
Yukon, Canada
The Mount Cameron Project covers 148 claims over 2,976 ha in the Mayo Mining District and hosts two distinct mineralization styles:
- Polymetallic Pb-Zn-Ag ± Cu veining – represented by the Cameron prospect in the southern property area.
- Manto-style carbonate replacement deposit (CRD) – represented by the Clark prospect.
Both prospects share a metallogenic signature similar to nearby high-grade polymetallic deposits within the renowned Keno Hill Silver District. The property is underlain mainly by Neoproterozoic Hyland Group quartzite and limestone, with localized contacts against Devono-Mississippian Earn Group fine clastic rocks in the extreme south.
Historic exploration Highlights include:
- 1970–71: Grid soil sampling near the Clark prospect identified multiple Pb-Zn anomalies along or near the limestone–quartzite contact.
- 1974: Diamond drilling at the Cameron prospect returned 6.1 m grading 287.3 g/t Ag, 26.5% Zn, and 5.78% Pb. The Cameron prospect lies along a faulted contact between Hyland limestone and quartzite, with the fault trace extending north and south beyond the drilled area.
*This historical information, reported by Bullion Mountain Mining Ltd. (1970–71) and Scury-Rainbow Oil Ltd. (1974), is considered reliable and relevant by Guardian Exploration, though neither the company nor its Qualified Person has yet verified the results.
