The DART property (“Property”) is situated within the Carmacks Caldera, a newly discovered 60 km by 100 km volcanic-related subsidence structure formed in the Late Cretaceous period approximately 65-70 million years ago and visible in Landsat images. The central part of the caldera is a low-lying unglaciated area of the Yukon Plateau. Whitehorse, is located approximately 124 km south-east of the south side of the caldera.
Infrastructure
• The Property is helicopter accessible from either Carmacks or Whitehorse and by the paved Klondike (Whitehorse-Dawson) Highway up to Carmacks
• There are gravel roads from the Klondike Highway to close proximity of the Property but have to be upgraded for access
• Accommodation and supplies available in Carmacks
• Hydro power lines in Carmacks
• Whitehorse is the regional centre for supplies and personnel.
• Railway from Whitehorse to the port of Skagway, Alaska
• Ore can be shipped from the port of Skagway to the world
Regional Geology
The Carmacks Caldera contains the most concentrated number of 99th percentile (>100 ppb) stream sediment gold anomalies in Yukon, and has predominant north-westerly and cross-cutting north-easterly structural trends. Northwest-trending regional structures and related northeast and east-trending cross structures were identified by the Yukon Geological Survey (“YGS”) as the main structural trends hosting mineralization throughout the Dawson Range gold belt. Structural analysis, magnetic data, and regional geochemical data were used to identify highly prospective targets. The Mt. Nansen gold-silver deposit is evident using this data, as are the targets on the DART property.
The Property is situated approximately 22 kilometers south-south-west of the Mt. Nansen gold mine. The Mt. Nansen vein-type porphyry-and breccia-related deposits are linked to northwest-trending faults associated with strong magnetic anomalies in the immediate vicinity of northeast-striking cross faults. The Mt. Nansen property is situated along the northern edge of the caldera and contained an estimated 556,500 tonnes grading 11.93 g/t gold and 211 g/t silver.
There was regional geological mapping conducted over the caldera area in the late 1970′s. No detailed mapping has been carried out since. Property lithology shows significant structural trends and, based on the 1977 geological interpretation, consists of Paleozoic-age (251-544 million years ago) metamorphic rocks. Jurassic-age (145-199 million years ago) intrusive rocks and metavolcanic rocks occur 2-4km to the northeast.
DART Property Geology
A large northwest-trending fault structure cuts through the center of the Property. The Property is situated over a magnetic high, which is at the intersection of northwest and northeast-trending fault structures. Two stream sediment gold anomalies (one 95th percentile (>17 ppb) and one 99th percentile (>92 ppb)) occur in the main creek draining the Property. The 95th percentile gold value is a repeat anomaly detected by initial and repeated assay process.
Regional GSC stream sediment sampling shows anomalous manganese in the main creek draining the Property. Manganese may be reflecting the epithermal nature of the caldera area, and is often associated with silver mineralization.
Property Features:
