What is the structural and geological interpretation of Red Setter Gold tenement , based on drilling results so far
+6
Based on drilling, Red Setter is interpreted as a major,
-long, northwest-southeast trending hydrothermal system hosted within a prominent, Telfer-style domal structure. Drilling has confirmed significant gold-copper mineralization associated with quartz-carbonate veining, brecciation, and pyrite-chalcopyrite sulphides within folding,, suggesting proximity to a major porphyry-related, high-grade core.
Structural and Geological Interpretation (Drilling Results):
Structure - The "Red Setter Dome": The target is a large-scale, folded dome, with strong indications of folding, significant deformation, and changing bedding angles observed in drill core.
Mineralization Style: Mineralization is characterized as hydrothermal, with strong quartz-carbonate veining, significant brecciation, and sulphide-rich zones (pyrite and chalcopyrite).
Analogy to Telfer: The geological setting is considered highly analogous to the Telfer dome (15 Moz Au system). It is interpreted to be part of the same regional geological trend, characterized by stacked reefs and stockwork zones.
Core Position: While multiple holes have returned mineralized core, initial interpretations suggest some holes were peripheral to the main hydrothermal system. Ongoing work is refining the targeting towards the central, high-grade core of the dome.
Geometry: The mineralized strike has been confirmed over a length of
, remaining open in all directions.
Drilling has identified significant alteration and sulphide enrichment, with recent campaigns (2025) focus on defining the core of the system through diamond drilling at depth.
