Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) Deposits

Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) Deposits on the Mon Property

  • VMS deposits account for 40% of Canadian silver production, 49% of its zinc, 27% of copper, 20% of its lead, and 3% of gold.
  • 2018 exploration by SXTY led to discovery of a new 2,500 m long horizon hosting VMS mineralization enriched in silver, lead, zinc and gold.
  • Grab samples in this zone (Anomaly C) graded up to 2.30 gpt Au, 360 gpt Ag, 3.83% Pb, and 1.94% Zn.
  • Trench assays including 0.45m of 203 gpt silver, 1.0 gpt gold, 0.59% lead and 0.96% zinc.
  • 2019/2020 airborne geophysics has identified at least seven isolated conductive anomalies (TauSFz) within favourable rocks.  The strongest anomalies are not exposed. This has generated at least 4 drill targets. Samples over a weak conductor (Anomaly C) exposed 120m of VMS mineralization that yielded trench samples from the only exposed zone shown below:
