IOCG Target at Scale
IOCG Target at Scale
Cougar, an area of intense outcropping IOCG alteration has been identified 3.4km SE of Viper, along the regional scale Contact Lake structural zone.
Widespread, pervasive, hematite and goethite alteration can be seen over an area of 1500m N/S and 1100m E/W. A single grab sample result returned 13.5% Cu, 1.14g/t Au, 97.4g/t Ag (F005648).
3.4 km southeast of Viper, at Cougar, a large zone of intense hematite-K-feldspar alteration is present, representing a low temperature potassic assemblage of a broad IOCG system within the Contact Lake Belt. Within this zone of alteration, encouraging results of 13.5% Cu, 1.14g/t Au, 97.4g/t Ag (F005648), were returned indicating fertile hydrothermal fluids rich in copper and precious metals.
