Characterization and origin of gold and silver mineralization at the Samp prospect, Yukon Territory

2012年，Kluane Drilling Ltd.访问了Samp探矿，采集了高达18ppb金、55.5ppm钼、129ppm铅、5600ppm银、840ppm砷、70ppm铋、8639ppm钡、300ppm钨、45ppm锡、0.73ppm碲和3.25ppm铊的样品，其中一个样品含有极其丰富的每吨604.5克Au和&GT；300ppm的银。这些数字和在该地产发现的其他特征被认为是卡林型矿化的指示。然而，在Engage Grant的支持下进行的新研究支持一种完全不同的矿化情景(与侵入有关的，可能是多金属的)，需要额外的数据来获得结果，该公司可以利用这些结果来设计高效和有效的勘探计划。拟议的研究的目的是通过绘制特定的地质特征并收集样本用于全岩石地球化学分析、岩石学和电子探针显微分析，来检验SAMP勘查代表与侵入有关的矿床的假设。这将在原始研究中所做的测绘和矿物学和地球化学工作的基础上展开，并将包括对成矿系统所有部分的详细评估。结果将表明与侵入相关的矿床假设是否正确，并将使产业合作伙伴能够设计合适的勘探计划。

In 2012 Kluane Drilling Ltd. visited the Samp prospect and collected samples showing up to 18 ppbgold, 55.5 ppm molybdenum, 129 ppm lead, 5,600 ppm silver, 840 ppm arsenic, 70 ppm bismuth,8639 ppm barium, >300 ppm tungsten, 45 ppm tin, 0.73 ppm tellurium, and 3.25 ppm thallium,including one sample containing an extremely rich 604.5 grams per tonne Au and >300 ppm silver.These numbers and other features found at the property were thought to be indicative of Carlintype mineralization.However, new research done with the support of an Engage Grant supports a completely differentmineralization scenario (intrusion-related, potentially polymetallic), and additional data are necessary to obtainresults that the company can use to design an efficient and effective exploration program.The purpose of the proposed study is to test the hypothesis that the Samp prospect represents anintrusion-related deposit by mapping specific geological features and collecting samples for whole-rockgeochemical assay, petrography, and electron probe microanalysis. This will expand on the mapping andmineralogical and geochemical work done in the original study and will include a detailed evaluation of allparts of the mineralizing system. The results will show if the hypothesis of an intrusion-related deposit iscorrect and will enable the industrial partner to design a suitable exploration program.
