Sleeper Magnificent Knapp (SMK)

Exploration Potential & Investment Highlights

  • Dual Target Potential: Low-sulfidation epithermal Au-Ag and porphyry Cu-Mo-Au
  • Large Underexplored Area: Veining, alteration, and geochemistry all supportive of active hydrothermal systems
  • Target-Ready: Multiple kilometer-scale targets identified—Anomaly 5 especially compelling
  • Low Cost Advancement: Follow-up trenching and initial drilling expected to be logistically straightforward
  • Proximity to Infrastructure including power transmission lines and all season access roads

 

Exploration Summary

Key Work Completed:

  • Multiple campaigns of targeted prospecting have defined mineralized veins of significant width and length.
  • 687 rock assay samples (lab analyzed)
  • 184 XRF rock chip samples

 

MINERAL FEATURES & TARGET ZONES

Geological Context

  • Situated within the Nechako Basin and Stikine Terrane of the Intermontane Belt.
  • Hosts a mix of Kasalka Group volcanic rocks, Ootsa Lake and Endako Group volcanics, and the Cabin Lake Monzonite pluton.
  • Widespread alteration zones (epidote/chlorite, sericite, clay, pyrite, manganese).
  • Quartz veining is common—epithermal-style banded quartz veins and stockworks.

 

Geochemical Targets Identified

Magnificent Vein Trend

  • 5 km long x 2.2 km wide zone, NS trending veins extending into contact zone with Cabin Lake Pluton
  • Polymetallic signature: Au, Ag, Zn, Pb, Mo, Bi, Te, Se
  • Coincides with quartz veining and alteration within rhyolitic tuffs
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Trenching and drilling

Sleeper Vein Trend

  • Silver- and lead-anomalous zones trending NE
  • Include isolated gold anomalies, grabs up to 13 gpt and 26gpt gold at NE and SW extremities
  • Associated with VLF geophysical trends
