Porphyry copper
This gave a measured and indicated resource of 27 Mt at 0.24% Cu, 0.59 g/t Au and 0.87 g/t Ag, and an inferred resource of 11 Mt at 0.22% Cu, 0.40 g/t Au and 0.67 g/t Ag, at a cut-off 0.35 g/t Au equivalent.
The geology is hornblende granodiorite intruding andesitic lavas and tuffaceous turbidites. Alteration of the volcano-sedimentary rocks is propylitic (chlorite, epidote, carbonate, silica) with pyrite and magnetite.
