Breccia in the Paterson
• The Paterson Province is famous for its Proterozoic geology and world-class gold-copper systems such as Telfer and Havieron, but breccia zones there can mark hydrothermal and intrusive-related mineralisation.
• At Red Setter (Wishbone Gold’s project in the Paterson), RNS reports describe breccia containing chalcopyrite (copper sulphide) and pyrite (iron sulphide) at depths of ~642–646 m. This is encouraging because:
• Chalcopyrite is a copper-bearing mineral.
• Pyrite often accompanies gold in hydrothermal systems.
• Brecciation suggests intense fluid activity, which is the kind of environment that can host gold-copper deposits (similar in style to Telfer & Havieron).
