Northwest anticlines are primary ore controls for most major Carlin-type gold deposits.

Regional anticlinoriums are the best geological explanation for Nevada’s gold trends.

Northeast Nevada

Fold Crest & Hingeline Geology

Northwest trending regional folds (blue) modify an older northeast trending fold array (black). Stratigraphic age contrasts along hinge lines can identify major folds, but commonly control and are obscured by Tertiary normal faults. Gold deposits concentrate near the crests. Lower plate windows are eroded fold crests or domes, but fold mineralization is also removed by erosion. Ideal erosion levels are a critical exploration concern.

Adobe Project Stratigraphy

Stratigraphy at Adobe is the same as the Rain-Emigrant area, where ore occurs in regionally karsted upper Guilmette Fm and overlaying calcareous shales of the lower Tripon Pass/Pilot Fm. The Melandco and Webb are equivalent to the Mississippian Chainman sandstone and shale at Adobe, all western-sourced from the Roberts Mountains Allochthon (RMA). Both areas are at the leading edge of the Roberts Mountains Allochthon.

Adobe Lower Plate Window:

Main Targeted Gold Host Stratigraphy

The Adobe LPW consists of Upper Devonian transitional limestone that is exposed over a large area a few miles

southwest of Sitka’s main acquisition target area & dome structure.

Semi-massive detrital petroliferous limestone is variably inter-bedded with thinly laminated, argillaceous

limestone and limey shale.

These units are comparable and equivalent to the tops of the main gold host rocks at Carlin (Rodeo Creek

Formation) and at Cortez (Horse Canyon Formation).

Structural interpretations show these units occur at depth (<500m) beneath our targeted dome structure and

wide spread alteration assemblages observed at surface.

Evidence of Carlin-Age Style, Structurally Controlled

Alteration Assemblages

Oil shale, conglomerate, limestone and tuff of the Elko Formation is folded “domed” indicating active local tectonism in the Middle Eocene.

Hydrothermal activity & alteration assemblages are concentrated along the NW fold axis trend and occupies all pre-existing structures and pervasively alters the Eocene Elko Fm.

Silicification & Hematite/Limonite (+arsenic) are extensively developed in folded Eocene Elko Fm. on the SW flank of the project area. Multiple areas mapped as “cherts” are actually jasperoids localized along stratigraphic horizons, unconformities, near tear faults and fold limbs.

Intense, pervasive decalcification, hematite -limonite alteration and jasperoids (+arsenic) occur along the folded Permian/Mississippianangular unconformity.

Other: base metal occurrences and small mines are present in Mississippian and Upper Plate rocks and represent the only publicly reported mineralization in the area. This is analogous to the Pequop Range prior to the discovery of Long Canyon.

Jasperoid creates a ridge along the Perm/Miss unconformity for over two miles in the exploration target area.

Pine Valley-Garden Valley Anticline &

Garden Pass Fault System

33

The Pine Valley -- Garden Valley anticline formed in the hanging wall of the Hoosac thrust during Sevier aged contraction in the Central Nevada thrust belt. The Garden Pass normal fault system subsequently became active in the Eocene, along the crest of the anticline, preserving Eocene, Oligocene and Miocene volcanic rocks in a half graben.

The Mineral Hill and Alpha silver-lead-zinc districts are exposed in the footwall of the fault. Amoco discovered the Blackburn Oil Field in the early 1980’s, determining it to be controlled by a north-south anticline.

The Table Mountain F-11X-6G oil well was drilled by Mobil Oil in the 1990’s targeting an area of interpreted 4-way dip closure on the southward projection of the anticline. Mobil had conducted six years of regional mapping, and geologic compilation in the area. Cuttings from the Table Mountain F-11X-6G oil well yielded almost 4,000’ averaging 26 ppb Au, 260 ppm As and highly anomalous Hg and Tl indicating the anticline has focused Carlin-type mineralization.

The Roberts Mountains thrust lies at a depth of 4,935 feet beneath Table Mountain, but rises much nearer to surface at Alpha. Surface samples containing greater than 100 ppb Au are reported from the Vinini or Webb Fm at Alpha.

Gold deposits in the adjacent Roberts Mountains concentrate at the Webb/Devils Gate contact which could lie at 500-1000’ below surface at Alpha.

Page 34: May 2018 Focused on Discovery - scp-cdn-hp2ihgdztoaaaxh ...€¦ · SFU; diploma in Mining Engineering Technology from BCIT. Donald Penner, B.Sc., P.Geo. – Director, President President

The Garden Valley Anticline

34

The Garden Valley Anticline is better preserved and potentially more prospective than the heavily explored Roberts Mountains Anticline. The Garden Valley anticline was at the crest of this mountain range prior to Eocene and later extensional collapse on the Garden Pass fault system. Movement on the Garden Pass fault is well timed for directing Carlin aged ore fluids. The Pipeline, Cortez Hills and Goldrush mega-deposits of the Cortez district are all hosted in anticlines. Gold deposits in the Roberts Mountains are found on the flanks of the anticlines because host stratigraphy is breached at the crest by erosion.

Page 35: May 2018 Focused on Discovery - scp-cdn-hp2ihgdztoaaaxh ...€¦ · SFU; diploma in Mining Engineering Technology from BCIT. Donald Penner, B.Sc., P.Geo. – Director, President President

Alpha Gold Stratigraphy

35

Geologic mapping in the Roberts Mountains recognized limestone thrust slices (Dl) at the contact between the Vinini Fm (Ov) and the Webb Fm (Mw). Devonian carbonate rocks surfacing near Alpha are thrust slices, not actual lower plate. Published geologic maps estimate the Webb Formation to be 300-1000 feet thick. Gold deposits occur below the Webb Fm at the top of the Devils Gate Fm (Ddg), a regional karst zone.

Alpha Gold Cross Section

36

Similar limestone thrust slices occur at the laterally equivalent Vinini/Horse Canyon contact in the Cortez district. This cross-section also illustrates how erosion makes discovery easier, but also may remove much of the ore deposit. The anticlinal crest is preserved at Alpha.

Cross Section - Cortez Hills

37

The Cortez Hills deposit (15 Moz Au) is preserved in the hanging wall of the Cortez fault, which has over 5,000 feet of offset. The historic Cortez silver-lead-zinc mineralization is exposed in the footwall of the Cortez fault, analogous to the Alpha silver-lead-zinc district in the footwall of the Garden Pass fault at Alpha. The typical stratiform Carlin-type part of the Cortez Hills deposit was probably eroded creating the Pediment deposit which is essentially an ore-clast gravel (see map to right).
