The Krof property targets two types of mineral deposits - a volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposit hosting copper, zinc, silver and gold, and an ultramafic-hosted nickel, copper, cobalt and platinum group element deposit similar to the nearby historic Giant Mascot Mine. Exploration at Krof since the 1980s has identified VMS mineralization at the main zone with drilling intersecting up to 4.82% copper and 19.94 g/t silver. Geophysical surveys have also identified additional electromagnetic anomalies across the property that remain untested targets. The property is available for option and further exploration is recommended to test priority drill targets at the main VMS zone and electromagnetic and geochemical anomalies elsewhere that may
The Olympic Dam deposit in South Australia contains huge reserves of copper, uranium, gold, and silver. It is hosted by the Burgoyne batholith within the Olympic Dam Breccia Complex, which formed from repeated brecciation and hematite alteration over 1588 million years. BHP Billiton currently mines the deposit, producing around 200,000 tons of copper and 3,500 tons of uranium oxide annually from 9 million tons of ore. The deposit remains an important economic resource due to its large size and potential for further expansion.
The Royalle property is located 175 km north of Vancouver in central British Columbia, near the historic Bralorne-Pioneer gold mining camp. The property consists of three contiguous mineral claims covering 2,620 hectares. Exploration over the years has identified several gold and copper-tungsten zones, including the Upper Piebiter gold zone and the Chalco copper-tungsten zone. Recent geophysical surveys have outlined structures prospective for porphyry and epithermal mineralization. The property remains underexplored and offers potential for the discovery of bulk tonnage gold deposits and porphyry-related mineralization.

Sulfide mineralization are the main resource for exploiting Pb, Zn, and Cu metals in Egypt.
Sulfide mineralization is represented by four sulfide types of the different setting, lithology and ages, namely:
i) Lead-Zinc sulphide Deposits
ii) Cu-NiCo sulphide Deposits
This type of mineralization is well represented in Abu Swayel in South Eastern Desert. The ore is closely related to mafic-ultramafic and gabbro of ophiolitic rocks.
iii) Cu-Ni sulphide deposits
This type of mineralization occurs in layered mafic-ultramafic intrusions like gabbro rocks at Akarm and El Geneina .
iv) Stratiform Massive Sulphide (Zn-Cu-Pb) Deposits
This type of mineralization is represented by a group of small lenses associated with talc deposits in South Eastern Desert at: Um Samuki, Helgit, Maakal, Atshan, Darhib, Abu Gurdi, and Egat.
This document provides an overview of porphyry copper systems, which host some of the most widely distributed types of mineralization at convergent plate boundaries. Key points:
- Porphyry copper systems can define linear belts hundreds of kilometers long and include porphyry deposits centered on intrusions, as well as peripheral skarn, carbonate-replacement, sediment-hosted gold deposits, and high- and intermediate-sulfidation epithermal deposits.
- Systems are closely related to underlying composite plutons and include vertically elongate porphyry intrusions and stocks. Alteration and mineralization zones extend outward from the intrusions.
- Individual systems are active for 100,000 to several million

Porphyry copper deposits are the world's most important source of copper and molybdenum. They form due to fluids released from subducting tectonic plates melting the mantle and generating magmas. Porphyry deposits are large, low-grade deposits centered around intrusive porphyry stocks. They are characterized by vein-hosted and disseminated sulfide mineralization within zones of hydrothermal alteration surrounding the intrusion. Porphyry deposits are mined via large-scale open-pit and underground block caving methods due to their great size and low grades.
Seismic Reflection Surveys in Search for Iron Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) Depositsiosrjce
Seismic reflection method can delineate very complex geological structures hence it might be very
effective for detecting the presence of Iron Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) deposits. Despite this superior
attributes, there exist a real problem for exploration beyond the immediate vicinity of a known deposit. All
previous studies have focused upon high resolution detection of mineralization and the hosting structures at
mine scale. No argument for “regional” exploration have been proposed probably because a cost benefit
analysis has never be conducted at such scale to proceed with such exploration venture. In this study, we
analyze the feasibility of such regional exploration by modelling a Vulcan IOCGU deposit scenario were a 2D
seismic survey with relatively sparse source-receiver geometry was used to detect the presence of a possible
intrusive package within 2km depth range. The modelling results demonstrates that seismic reflection method
using 10m geophones and 20m shot spacing can be used to image deposit within the depth of 2km. The
presence of reflections was visibly observed especially at the edges of intrusive packages hence it is suggested
that application of seismic reflection methods perhaps will remains the best alternative and most viable method
for exploring deep seated IOCG
Porphyry copper deposits form around quartz monzonite to granodiorite intrusions and are characterized by concentric zoning of copper-bearing mineralization and alteration shells. They can be over 1-2 square kilometers in size and contain over 0.5% copper on average. Porphyry deposits are responsible for approximately 60% of the world's copper production and also produce significant amounts of molybdenum, gold, and silver.

The document summarizes information about banded iron formations (BIFs) and ironstones. It discusses the characteristics, classification, occurrences, and origins of BIFs from the Precambrian and ironstones from the Phanerozoic. BIFs formed in various depositional environments, including shallow marine shelves and island arc settings, and have sedimentary, volcanic, and biogenic origins. Ironstones include bog ores, oolitic ores, and others that formed in continental and marine environments through weathering and precipitation processes. Examples of BIFs and ironstones in Egypt are also described.
This document describes sediment-hosted copper deposits, which are stratabound deposits formed after sediment deposition but before lithification. They occur in two main rock types - low-energy carbonate/shale sediments and high-energy sandstones/conglomerates. The deposits are described by mineralogy, textures, alteration, controls on ore deposition, and environmental considerations. Sediment-hosted copper deposits are most common in Neoproterozoic and Paleozoic rocks, particularly in shallow marine basins near the paleo-equator with high evaporation rates.
The document discusses uranium exploration potential in the Athabasca Basin region of Saskatchewan, Canada. It outlines the geological setting, distribution of unconformity-type uranium deposits, genetic models and variants, exploration criteria at regional to local scales, exploration methods, deposit resources and grades, supply and demand factors, and exploration cycles. The region is a globally significant producer of high-grade unconformity-associated uranium deposits located at the unconformity between the Athabasca sandstone and underlying basement rocks.
This document defines and describes volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits. Key points:
- VMS deposits form from metal-rich hydrothermal fluids emitted from submarine volcanism. They typically occur as lenses of massive sulphides between volcanic and sedimentary rocks.
- Major deposits are found worldwide in volcanic terranes from 3.4 billion years ago to modern seafloor. Canada has over 350 deposits, providing 27-49% of its historical base metal production.
- Deposits range in size but the largest contain over 100 million tonnes of ore. Giant deposits include Neves Corvo in Portugal with over 270 million tonnes of ore containing 8.5 million tonnes of

The document discusses ore formation systems and processes. It describes how ores were originally thought to form mainly from the cooling and crystallization of magmatic bodies. It then explains that four main ore formation processes are recognized: 1) orthomagmatic processes related to magma evolution and crystallization, 2) hydrothermal processes involving mineralization from magmatic fluids, 3) sedimentary processes concentrating metals through weathering, erosion and sedimentation, and 4) metamorphic processes transforming existing ore deposits. The document provides details on each of these processes and how they concentrate metals to form economic mineral deposits.
Parry_2015_FORCE_Underexplored_Plays_Stavanger_Oil Seeps - the only real Dire...Chris Parry
Chris Parry presents on the importance of hydrocarbon seeps as direct indicators of oil and gas. Seeps have led to most major oil discoveries through visible oil staining and odors at the surface. Both macroseepage and microseepage occur, with microseepage traveling vertically from charged reservoirs. Offshore, seeps manifest as pockmarks and mud volcanoes and can be detected using satellite imagery by observing oil slicks on the surface that dampen wind ripples. Seep sampling through gravity coring and geochemical analysis of cores reveals subsurface characteristics like thermal maturity and source rock type through biomarkers. Seeps significantly reduce exploration risk by indicating the presence and maturity of source rocks.

Two new gold discoveries were made, including a 2m quartz-arsenopyrite shear zone assaying 3.4gpt Au and arsenopyrite-bearing boulders assaying 1.7-3gpt Au. Grab samples from the Keymet mine dump contained high grades of silver, copper, lead and zinc. Future exploration plans include expanding gold showings, trenching gold targets, and drilling untested
Atoka Gold Corporation owns the North Battle Mountain gold property in Nevada which shows potential for a large Carlin-type gold deposit. Two large gold anomalies up to 640m by 275m have been identified on the property through rock and soil sampling. Geophysical surveys found a large gravity high and resistive zones that may indicate altered and mineralized host rocks. Three drill targets have been proposed to test for a shallow open-pit deposit as well as deeper mineralization hosted in favorable limestone units below a thrust fault zone. The property is near several major gold mines and along a belt known for hosting gold deposits.
Skyharbour owns several gold exploration properties in the prolific Red Lake gold camp of Ontario. The properties have potential for gold mineralization based on their proximity to producing mines and recent discoveries by other companies on adjacent lands. Skyharbour's key property, Broulan Reef, has returned encouraging drill results that are similar in grade and style to a nearby multi-million ounce deposit. Management has over 80 years of combined experience exploring and developing projects in Red Lake.
This document summarizes research on a newly discovered suspected kimberlite pipe in northern Colorado. Analytical methods including thin section analysis, heavy mineral separation, X-ray diffraction, chemical analysis, and a TESCAN mineral analyzer were used to identify indicator minerals characteristic of kimberlites. Results found pyrope garnets, diopside, phlogopite, and olivine, confirming the presence of a kimberlitic rock. The suspected kimberlite has chemical properties similar to a type II kimberlite. This finding represents a newly identified kimberlite pipe in the area.
Skyharbour owns several gold exploration properties in the prolific Red Lake gold camp of Ontario. The properties have potential for high-grade gold mineralization based on their proximity to major discoveries by Goldcorp. Drilling on the Broulan Reef property has intersected gold mineralization in the same structure as the nearby Bruce Channel deposit. The McKenzie Island property also shows continuity of mineralization between properties. Skyharbour aims to explore the untapped potential of these properties through future drilling programs.

Abstract
In 1986, the State of California posted a fish consumption advisory for Clearlake, a large,
freshwater lake located 80 miles north of San Francisco, because of mercury contamination. The
abandoned Sulphur Bank Mercury Mine on the eastern shore of Clearlake is the suspected source of
the mercury. Herman Impoundment, the now flooded open pit of the Sulphur Bank Mercury Mine, is
separated from Clearlake by a dam composed of waste rock removed from the open pit. Hydrological
and geochemical studies indicated that water is flowing from the open pit through the waste rock
dam into Clearlake. However, an accurate map of flow pathways through the waste rock dam was
needed for planning groundwater flow intervention. Results from an airborne EM conductivity survey
flown over the mine site and adjacent areas suggest the probable flow paths taken by the highly
conductive Herman Impoundment water through the waste rock dam. The airborne data were then used
to target areas for ground-based EM conductivity surveys with a Geonics EM34-3XL instrument. The
higher-resolution results of the ground-based survey corroborated the findings of the airborne
survey. This information will allow groundwater-flow intervention efforts to be concentrated within
small areas of the waste rock
dam.
This document provides an introduction to Conquest Resources Limited's Golden Rose Gold Mine Property. It summarizes the property's history as a former producing gold mine. It also outlines the company's management team and asset portfolio. Finally, it describes exploration opportunities at the Golden Rose mine site, including targeting extensions of known gold zones and exploring the property at a regional scale within the Emerald Lake Magnetic Anomaly.
The Spius Property is located in southwestern British Columbia and hosts a significant copper anomaly within an area of porphyry copper deposits. Historic soil and drilling data uncovered a large zone of anomalous copper values over 1 km in diameter that remains open. The property has good access and infrastructure. An initial program of geological mapping and soil sampling is recommended to further define the copper anomaly and evaluate the property's potential to host a significant porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit. The property is available for option, joint venture or purchase.
MAX is exploring for gold, silver, and copper in Nevada. Drilling at the Majuba Hill property intercepted near surface high-grade silver and copper mineralization, with assays up to 2 oz/t silver equivalent over wide intervals, indicating potential for an open pit deposit. Drilling is also underway at the East Manhattan Wash gold property to determine the vertical extent of gold mineralization identified over a large area at surface. MAX has a low market capitalization and experienced management team exploring bulk tonnage deposit opportunities in Nevada.
The document summarizes the major points for Enduro Metals' Newmont Lake Project located in British Columbia's Golden Triangle region. The 618km2 project contains 4 major mineralized systems - McLymont Fault, Burgundy, Chachi, and Cuba - that have seen little historical exploration. Recent drilling by Enduro at the McLymont Fault intersected high-grade gold mineralization over significant widths. Diamond drilling in 2019 at Burgundy discovered a copper-gold alkalic porphyry system over 2.3km. Grassroots exploration in 2019 at Chachi identified the largest multi-element anomaly on the property through surface sampling, including high grades of copper and silver. Cuba contains multiple silver/zinc soil
NMR has multiple opportunities for copper and gold discoveries across its project portfolio in Western Australia and Queensland. Key projects include the Nullarbor region in WA, where diamond drilling has discovered IOCG-style alteration at the Helios prospect similar to Olympic Dam, and follow-up drilling is underway. In QLD, drilling is planned to commence at the Maneater Breccia project in October 2022, where previous drilling intersected high grades of silver, lead and zinc over significant widths. NMR also holds a large package of tenements in the Palmerville region of QLD, a proven copper and gold province where over 50 targets have already been identified.
Montoro Resources Inc. owns the Malachite cobalt/copper property in New Brunswick, Canada. Cobalt prices recently hit two-year highs, renewing interest in the property. Previous exploration identified mineralized zones over 600 meters in length and 70 meters deep, containing cobalt, copper, nickel and gold. Tesla's planned lithium-ion battery gigafactory is expected to significantly increase demand for cobalt as batteries contain 2-6 kg of cobalt each. Montoro is seeking partners to continue developing the Malachite property through deep EM surveys and drilling to test below and along strike of known mineralization.

Area
History
1920s: The Seneca Noranda/Kuroko style massive sulphide deposit (Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag, Au)
was discovered near the southwest end of Harrison Lake, some 30km from the Krof
property.
1923: Nickel-copper mineralization was discovered in 1923 at the Pride of Emory deposit
on Stulkawhits Creek, 12 km northwest of Hope and 18 kilometers southeast of the Krof
property. Underground development at the Pride of Emory was begun in 1926, but it
wasn’t until 1936 that commercial production was achieved. From 1936 to 1974,
production totaled 26,573,090 kilograms of nickel and 13,212,770 kilograms of copper
with silver, gold and cobalt credits. This property, known as the Giant Mascot Mine, is in
the sixth largest nickel producing region in Canada (after Sudbury, Thompson, Lynn Lake,
Raglan and Voisey’s Bay).
1969: Exploration in the vicinity of the Krof property began in the late 1960’s by the
Nickel Syndicate (Giant Explorations Limited and Giant Mascot Mines Limited) and
continued through 1975. The work focused on a series of ultramafic intrusions similar to
those that host the Giant Mascot Mine orebodies. A very large area, including the eastern
portion of the Krof property, was flown as part of a regional magnetometer survey, by the
Nickel Syndicate in the early 1970’s.
1971: Upon completing 17 drill holes (1,220m) at Daioff Creek (tributary to East Talc
Creek) the Nickel Syndicate announced a significant discovery of >100 million tonnes
grading 0.21% sulphide nickel in a large pyroxenite body. This work was reported on by
G.E.P. Eastwood, BCGSB in 1971 government geological reports. This discovery is 7km
southeast of the Krof property.
1971: Western Standard Silver Mines Ltd. discovered a showing of semi-massive iron and
copper on Cogburn Creek just one kilometer from the eastern boundary of the present Krof
property. The showing known as Al grades ~1.0% copper and is hosted in a foliated quartz
diorite panel, with and adjacent to fractured silicified mafic-rich layers.
1972: Gold was discovered and mined on a small scale at the ABO property ~25km south
of Krof. Drilling at ABO by Kerr Addison Mines Limited in the 1980s defined a 2 million
tonne deposit grading 2.8gpt gold.
1981: Carolin Mines Ltd. opened their underground Ladner Creek Gold Mine, 33km east
of the Krof property, based upon geological reserves of 1.5 million tonnes grading 4.83gpt
gold hosted in greenstone/ultramafic rocks.
1981: D. McCallum, H. Nickel and D. Crowhurst, employees of Pretty Timber Co. Ltd.,
upon rock blasting on a new logging road in the North Fork Creek watershed discovered
sulphide mineralization (Krof VMS) and staked mineral claims over the area.
2. Krof Fact Sheet, January 20, 2012 2 of 9
1981: Silver Standard Mines Ltd. optioned the Krof property and completed soil
geochemistry, self-potential and EM surveys over and around the new sulphide showing.
Geochemical and geophysical anomalies were identified and drilling was recommended.
1982: Orbex Minerals Limited optioned the Krof property and conducted core drilling in
four short holes over the discovery outcrop with all holes intersecting the sulphide horizon
(VMS) – the best sample being 3.0m from Hole 82-1 grading 2.04%Cu, 0.98% Zn and
9.2gpt Ag.
1985: Corporation Falconbridge Copper acquired the Krof property and conducted detailed
surface mapping and sampling of the discovery outcrop area on the Krof property. They
reported that the showing consists of four stratabound lenses or beds of massive and
banded sulphides with the lowermost lense ranging in width from 0.8m to 1.2m, with an
average grade of 3.72% Cu, 1.41% Zn, 48ppm Ag and 0.35ppm Au over 0.8m. The
authors concluded that the mineralization was a “distal” exhalative Besshi type similar to
the Goldstream deposit near Revelstoke, B.C. as no footwall stringer alteration zone had
been seen.
1987: Minnova Inc., a Falconbrige subsidiary, took over exploration on the Krof property
completing more geological mapping and a small EM survey followed by a four hole core
drilling program (stepping out from the discovery outcrop). Three out of the four holes
intersected massive sulphides with the best returning 2.2m in Hole 87-4 grading 4.82% Cu,
0.46% Zn, 19.94gpt Ag and 0.17gpt Au.
1988: Minnova Inc. completed three long core holes to test the down-dip and lateral
extension of the mineralized zone. All three holes intersected a geochemically anomalous
horizon but no significant sulphides were contained in the horizon. The author concluded,
“The possibility of the mineralized zone narrowing and swelling down plunge still exists
and the North Fork [Krof] massive sulphide horizon remains an excellent target”.
1999: Discovery of a sulphide showing in an ultramafic rock outcrop on the adjacent Jason
property yielded assays of 0.63% Cu, 0.64% Ni, 0.78ppm Pt, 0.47ppm Pd from a grab
sample. The author, David Haughton, PhD., reported a similarity to the nearby Giant
Mascot mine mineralization and pipe-like structure. The Jason property is immediately
adjacent to the southeast corner of the Krof property. As rocks trend northwest in this area
there is potential for these mineralized Jason property rocks to trend onto the central/east
side of the Krof property.
2001: Gerald G. Carlson and John A. Chapman acquired the Krof VMS showings by
staking new mineral claims.
2001: A significant magnesium deposit was discovered 6.5km south of the Krof property,
adjacent to East Talc Creek, by Leader Mining International Inc. In 2003 upon completion
of a positive production feasibility study, Hatch reported, “the Cogburn Magnesium
Deposit is a large ultramafic intrusive body containing consistently high-grade magnesium
silicate (+24% magnesium). The location has a significant infrastructure advantage in that
electric power, natural gas, mainline rail, provincial highways and barge access to nearby
deep-sea ports are all adjacent to the property.”
2006: A 44 line-kilometer AeroTEM II helicopter-borne electromagnetic and
magnetometer survey was conducted by Aeroquest Limited over and near the Krof VMS
showing – seven EM anomalies were defined, one being the original Krof discovery.
2007: The Krof property was optioned by Carlson and Chapman to Nomad Ventures Inc.
2008: Nomad retained Aeroquest Limited to conduct a 275km AeroTEM II (EM & Mag)
over the entire expanded Krof property – 97 EM anomalies were identified. A
reconnaissance soil geochemical survey yielded three high nickel values (~2,000ppm Ni)
from the last three contiguous samples on the most eastern line.
2010: Nomad expanded the 2008 soil survey grid and identified a 400m x 100m nickel-in-
soil anomaly (~1,800ppm Ni) in the central-east part of the Krof property. In addition two
core holes were drilled into EM targets near the confluence of North Fork and Cogburn
Creeks in the southern part of the Property. The drill results were negative as only iron

sulphides and graphite was intersected, explaining the EM anomalies. The Krof property
Option was terminated in early 2011 and no further work has been done on the property
since.
Geology The Krof, a Besshi type Cu, Zn, Ag, Au deposit, is underlain by Upper Paleozoic metavolcanic and
metasedimentary rocks of the Chilliwack Group, intruded by Cretaceous and Tertiary granitic and
ultramafic rocks. The Krof showing occurs within a northwest striking, steeply dipping sequence of
schist, phyllite and recrystallized chert. The massive sulphide zone has been interpreted to rake
steeply to the south. The massive sulphides are associated within a 50m thick unit of meta-basalt,
including flows, flow breccia and minor tuff, bounded above and below by chert and meta-
sediments. On the east half of the property mafic and ultramafic rocks of the Hut Creek Pluton
dominate, including peridotite and diorite. Airborne magnetic and EM anomalies coincident with
very high nickel-in-soils (~1,800 ppm average) over the peridotites provide good Giant Mascot
Mine style deposit discovery potential.
Mineral-
ization
The best mineralization at Krof was discovered by Minnova Inc., a Falconbrige subsidiary, in
1987: 2.2m in Hole 87-4 grading 4.82% Cu, 0.46% Zn, 19.94gpt Ag and 0.17gpt Au.
Potential It is important to recognize that the Krof VMS occurrence is 100km east of BC's largest
VMS historical producer, the Britannia Mine. Britannia is classed as a Noranda/Kuroko
VMS, and it produced 48 million tonnes of copper-zinc-lead ore (with minor cadmium,
silver and gold) from 1905 to 1988. During the 1920s it was considered the largest copper
mine in the British Empire. The geological setting and style of mineralization at Krof
indicates potential for a large VMS deposit. The original Krof discovery remains open at
depth and to the north.
In ultramafic rocks on the east side of the Krof property there is potential for copper, nickel
and PGE discovery, similar to that at the adjacent Jason property and the former producing
Giant Mascot Mine.

The highest priority drill targets at the Krof Main Zone remain to be tested (refer to Figure 6).

The 2008 Aeroquest geophysical survey defined some very interesting “bull’s-eyes” Total
Magnetic Intensity features at, and near, the southern boundary of the Krof property. Sampling on
the adjacent Jason property has shown anomalous values in copper, nickel and PGEs (AR 29304).
Values are reportedly comparable with remaining reserves and resources at Giant Mascot’s Pride
of Emory Deposit some 20km to the southeast of Krof. The local SW trending magnetics shown on
Figure 7 indicates the possibility of the mineralized trend continuing onto the Krof property – this
needs to be checked. A soil geochemical survey should be conducted in this area.
Figure 7
There are a significant number of EM and Total Magnetic Intensity anomalies that were identified
in the 2008 Aeroquest geophysical program that remain untested. Refer to Figure 8 for
recommendations on testing these targets.

Figure 8
When exploring the Krof property, and the general Harrison Lake region, one should be watchful
for possible late-phase precious metal mineralization in shears and veins originating from young
felsic and mafic intrusives in the area.
The reader should also refer to the recommendations contained in the Krof 2009 AR30721 as some
of them remain to be undertaken.
