VENUE: Rugby Club, Crane Place, Circular Quay, Sydney
SPEAKERS: Ray Soper
TOPIC: "The Cinola Gold Project, Queen Charlotte Islands, Canada"
The Cinola Project is being re-evaluated in the 1990's. Former
exploration focused on a bulk low grade open pit resource, but with
poor metallurgy and located in an environmentally sensitive area.
Current thinking is that Cinola contains higher grade, possibly
good metallurgy ore, which is amenable to underground mining from an
adit level.
A basin formed by a jog in the regional Sandspit Fault is filled with
epiclastic sediments into which felsic intrusives and fluidised
hydrothermal breccias have been emplaced. The initial event of
lower grade pyritic gold mineralization is overprinted by banded
epithermal-style, quartz fissure vein, gold/silver mineralization, not
adequately delineated by the early vertical drilling and now the subject
of renewed investigation.
