About JW Prospect
The JW prospect is a porphyry Cu-Au target located within 6 km of the >800 million tonne Galore Creek porphyry deposit(s). The host rocks are predominantly a multiphase Late Triassic (?) intrusion dominated by granodiorite with lesser leucogranite, monzonite and dioritic phases, as well as the flanking metasediments and lesser volcanics. Mineralization occurs in both the intrusion and the adjacent metasediments/metavolcanics as both disseminated and veinlet chalcopyrite plus secondary copper minerals. Mapping to date has identified zones of strong epidote (propylitic) alteration, a pyrite zone, and boulders of magnetite-veined, potassic-altered granitic rocks, all typical phases of porphyry-type alteration systems.
