Best use of available technology
X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (XRF)- real-time analyses at no additional cost- reliable- aids in planning of drill holes

Bulkley Initiative – Location Map
Babine Cu-Au Porphyry District
Transtensional tectonic regime approximately 50 Ma resulted in graben architecture. NW-trending faults exploited by Eocene porphyry intrusions.
NW trending faults directly related to porphyry emplacement and Cu-Au mineralization at Bell, Granisle and Morrison deposits.
BC Geological Survey has mapped NW-trending faults and Eocene Babine Plutonic Suite intrusions on both the Paragon and SAT Properties.
Babine Plutonic Suite8
Bell & Granisle deposits - Geology
District Geology, southeast portion of Babine Porphyry Belt.
- Eocene Biotite Feldspar Porphyry (BFP) and Biotite Hornblende Feldspar Porphyry (BHFP) intrusions along or proximal to major NW structures.
- Eocene rhyolite intrusions spatially associated with deposits (pre-mineralization at Bell deposit).
- Significant pyrite bearing alteration haloes, typically associated with chlorite-sericite-carbonate assemblage.
These geological features form basis for exploration model in the Babine Cu-Au Porphyry Belt.
