J-Pacific Gold Inc. controls 100% of the RC Property under a renewable lease option agreement with KM Exploration LLC of Elko, Nevada.
The prospect is located approximately 15 miles south – southeast of the Rain Subdistrict on the southern portion of the Carlin Trend. The geologic setting bears striking similarities to the deposits at Rain and represents a newly identified discovery opportunity.
The RC Project is underlain by rocks of Mississippian Webb and Chainman Formations and Tertiary age volcanic rocks. The area is locally covered by a thin veneer of Quaternary alluvium. The contact between the Webb and the Devonian Devils Gate Limestone, which is a regionally important focus of gold mineralization is interpreted to be at a depth of 300 to 800 feet. The structural setting is dominated by a high angle, North - South trending fault and several younger, poorly defined, East - Northeast trending high angle faults. Both sets of faults are most likely subparallel structural zones with widths of up to several hundred feet.
Exposed Mississippian Web Formation, inferred to be several hundred feet above the target zone, is locally sulfidized and silicified. These exposures are also weakly anomalous in arsenic, antimony, nickel and zinc. Back to top |
