KIMBERLEY GOLD TREND
Note: Some historical data locations and values have been inferred from the historical map.
The Quartz Mountain property is currently owned and operated by Klondike Gold Corp. The property straddles the St. Mary fault, the approximate north-west boundary of the Kimberley Gold Trend. A locally intense penetrative structural fabric parallels the St. Mary fault and is intersected by east south-east trending faults and structural breaks. The intersections of a prominent east south-east fault and the St. Mary fault is correlative with the presence of gold mineralization in the Golden Egg (Rice) deposit (Minfile: 082FNE055).
The Price’s Pit (Anderson) deposit (Minfile: 082FNE056) lies to the southeast of the Golden Egg and is hosted in poorly exposed Creston and Kitchener formation rocks covered by alluvium. The Price’s Pit deposit is thought to occur at the intersection of he Perry Creek Thrust and an unnamed east trending fault that has not been recognized in the field.
Small occurrences of copper sulphides have been found proximal to the trace of the Quartz Creek at the intersection of the Sawmill Creek fault, but are not well understood at this time.

ST. MARY FAULT ZONE
A widespread fol iat ion occurs in a broad zone in both the hanging wall(northwest) and footwall (southeast) of the St. Mary fault. In manycases, the fol iat ion is the dominant structural trend and bedding isdiff icult to determine. The fol iat ion is accompanied by sl ickensides,minor folds and shear sense indicators similar to the feature in the photoabove. Foliation parallel veining is rare on the Quartz Mountain propertyand has not been sampled enough to make an association between gold mineralization and the structural trend.
ALTERATION
Sericite, carbonate, +/- chlorite, +/- pyrite, +/- pyrolusite
Albite, specularite, chlorite
Albite-hematite breccia within Aldridge medium bedded quartzites.The hematite breccia is associated with the south-east trendingQuartz Creek fault. The breccia is locally distr ibuted along thefault and grades to a chlorite-albite breccia distal from the fault.Several zones were observed along the fault trend with chlorite andalbite mineralogy. Rock geochemistry sampling of the zones did notcontain consistent anomalous concentrations of gold.

VEINING
ALTERATION AND MINERALIZATION
Sericite and carbonate alteration associated with composite quartzveins and breccias. The veins are sporadically mineralized with pyrite blebs and are haloed by disseminated pyrite weathered to jarosite. The sericite alteration zones are regionally associated with north-east trending shears however, sericite zones on the Quartz Mountain property do not have a consistent association to a structural trend.Gold concentrations among sericite zones is not consistent though mult iple samples from a zone are either consistently anomalous in gold, or consistently absent of elevated gold concentrations. This maysuggest sericite zones are produced in more than one structural eventand gold emplacement is l imited to a select few of those events.
