A1 / CONTEXT
Iskut-Eskay rift segment, Golden Triangle.
Ticktock sits within the Stikine terrane of northwestern British Columbia, in the Iskut-Eskay rift segment of the broader Golden Triangle. The property is located between Enduro Metals' Newmont Lake property and Aben Resources' Forrest-Kerr property in the Skeena Mining Division.
A2 / TARGETING MODELS
Two primary deposit-style targets are recognized in this part of the Golden Triangle:
Eskay-style VMS / volcanogenic precious-metal-rich subaqueous-volcanic-hosted Au-Ag, hosted in Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group felsic volcanic rocks and overlying mudstones. This is the deposit style of the past-producing Eskay Creek mine.
Cu-Au porphyry, associated with Early Jurassic to Eocene intermediate-to-felsic intrusive complexes that occur throughout the Iskut-Stewart-Galore camps. KSM and Galore Creek are regional analogs for this targeting model.
Specific host stratigraphy and structural setting on the Ticktock property are not described in the available acquisition disclosure beyond the regional context above. Further mapping, sampling, and geophysics will be required to define ground-specific targets.
Adjacent properties. The Ticktock property is located in the broader Golden Triangle region of northwestern British Columbia, which hosts a number of past-producing mines, currently-operating mines, and developments. These include, without limitation, the past-producing Eskay Creek deposit, the Brucejack mine, the KSM and Galore Creek deposits, and the Newmont Lake and Forrest-Kerr properties.
