Recently completed the initial field prospecting program in the remote TUYA VOLCANIC FIELD. 

This work represents the first known exploration on the site, aside from the BC Geological Survey regional stream sediment sampling in 2000. 

Soil and stream sediment samples were taking from the volcanic cones, particularly in proximity of the prominent gossans. 

Samples will be submitted for assay. 


Following up from regional work in the area by Falconbridge in 1975, the target is “fossil laterite” in the host ultramafic and limestone successions of the Whitehorse basin, immediately adjacent the volcanic intrusion. These are globally important sources of gallium and cobalt, and are consistent with the geochemical signature (including high aluminum and iron). This represents a novel exploration target for BC, and mirrors similar mineralization in the Cascade volcanic belt in Oregon.
