About the Charlotte Property
The Charlotte property region is characterized by gold veins and breccia, as well as copper-gold porphyry mineralization. The 2,217.8 hectare (approximately 23 km2) Charlotte property is adjacent to Rockhaven Resources’ Klaza project. Other active mineral projects in the Dawson Range area include Triumph Gold’s Freegold project and Granite Creek Copper’s drill program on the copper-gold Stu project.
The Charlotte property is underlain by Devonian and older metaplutonic, metasedimentary, and metavolcanic rocks. Middle Cretaceous granodiorite and quartz-feldspar porphyry of the Dawson Range phase of the Whitehorse Plutonic Suite, and middle Cretaceous andesite of the Mt. Nansen Group volcanic suite variably intrude the host rocks. There are several historical mineralized zones of interest, including the Huestis, Webber, and Flex precious metal vein systems in the southern part of the Charlotte property. A large stock of Late Cretaceous Casino Porphyry Suite located in the northwest part of the property hosts underexplored copper-molybdenum-gold mineralization.
