Illinois Creek Project Exploration Update
/i1. CRD Exploration Implications.
-
✓ Scale – significant untapped potential
Continuous mineralization reaching km's in
length from porphyry (source) to CRD extents
(distal)
Systems are high-grade in nature
High drill discovery rates (AgEq ounces/meter)
✔ District-scale vectoring is prominent; small-scale
vectoring is challenging (somewhat drill-intensive)
District scale classic porphyry metal zonation
(Au, Cu, Zn, Pb, Ag, Mn)
Lateral alteration vectors

Fugitive calcite (bottom photo:
Manganiferous calcite = "BBQ Rock")
Geochem haloes
Very sharp ore zone boundaries
Here's the exciting part:
We've found two portions of the system:
1) High grade distal (Ag-Pb-Zn) mineralization at WPC and
2)Proximal (Au-Ag-Cu) mineralization 7.5 km along trend at IC.
We have all the secret ingredients with an expansive
mineralization footprint; we just need to drill it to demonstrate the
continuous porphyry-skarn-CRD mineralization along the trend
