The VOK mineralized zone trends approximately west-northwest to east-southeast. Its orientation mirrors that of Electrum Ridge, a pronounced topographic feature near the southern margin of the zone, and drilling to date has extended its strike to over 450 m. The zone is up to 150 m wide and is bound to the west by the Brucejack Fault but remains open at depth and to the east.
High-grade gold and silver mineralization within the VOK Zone occurs as electrum, and it is generally hosted within quartz-carbonate and quartz-adularia veins and vein stockworks. While quartz veining and stockworks are common throughout the zone, the majority of gold intersections are confined to a 75 m to 100 m wide zone which closely parallels the axis of the syncline. Within that zone, the mineralization appears to have been concentrated in localized fold noses and along geologic contacts, in particular along the contact between the overlying pyroclastic rocks and the underlying conglomerate, as well as locally along the margins of flow-banded rhyolite. Significant intervals of gold mineralization, including several occurrences of visible gold, have been intersected to the west of the VOK Zone, at the Waterloo Zone, suggesting the possibility that the mineralized trend may extend farther west, across the Brucejack Fault.
from pretium report
i understand one of the planned drill holes by scooter will traverse the brucejack fault... that high grade intercepts lie to the west of the brucejack fault bodes opportunity for scooters big gossan test... too bad monday is a holiday
