Sherwood Copper Corp., Yukon |
Pelly area |
|
Sherwood Copper owns and operate a Cu (Au) mine a few hours north of Whitehorse west of the Yukon River. I’ve spent a number of weeks at the property logging drillcore, supervising drilling/logging and writing a geology report. The deposit is hosted in low-angle shear zones which crosscut a Klotassin-type granodiorite. Mineralization is predominately in the form of chalcopyrite & bornite with accessory malachite, azurite and chalcocite. It is associated with additions of silica (quartz), K (biotite and feldspar) and magnetite with lesser carbonate and chlorite. No consensus has been reached regarding the genesis/deposit type of the mineralization at Minto.
