Project Details

Name:

Mount Cameron Ag-Zn-Pb

Category:

Exploration project

Year:

March, 2021

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.
