Project Summary
Commodity Focus: Antimony (Sb), Gold (Au), Silver (Ag), Copper (Cu)
Exploration Model
The Cinnabar Hill project is centered on the exploration for significant mineral deposits with a primary focus on Antimony, supplemented by Gold, Silver, and Copper. The project utilises a multi-element geochemical approach to define the epithermal and possibly porphyry-related mineral systems prevalent in the area.
Geological Highlights
Mineralisation Style: The exploration data suggest a complex mineralisation system, characterised by the presence of Antimony, Gold, Silver, and Copper, indicative of high sulfidation state epithermal mineralization.
Alteration Zones: Extensive alteration zones identified, including argillization and silicification, which are typical of hydrothermal alteration associated with epithermal mineral deposits.
Geochemical Anomalies: Notable geochemical anomalies in Antimony and Mercury, along with lesser but significant anomalies in Gold and Silver, have been mapped across the project area. Copper shows discrete occurrences which warrant further exploration.
Historical Workings: Previous explorations have identified scattered historical workings and geochemical anomalies that suggest a potentially underexplored system with significant mineralization potential.
Exploration Potential
The Cinnabar Hill area presents a compelling target for further exploration due to its complex geology and multi-element anomalies. Initial exploration efforts will focus on detailed geological mapping, advanced geochemical sampling, and geophysical surveys to refine drill targets. The strategic objective is to delineate a substantial mineral resource, leveraging both the historical data and new findings to guide exploration strategies.
Strategic Importance
The Cinnabar Hill Exploration Project represents a key initiative to explore and develop underexploited mineral resources in a region with proven geological potential. The combination of strategic commodity focus, advanced exploration techniques, and a robust geological model positions this project to potentially contribute significantly to the supply of Antimony, Gold, Silver, and Copper.
