Mineralization
Exploration efforts have identified carbonatite and gold-bearing calc-silicate horizons intercalated with gneissic rocks. Some of the mineralization is characterized by the presence of pyrrhotite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, and scheelite, with associated geochemical signatures of gold (Au), bismuth (Bi), tellurium (Te), and tungsten (W). Notable areas of interest where Riverside is following up include the target areas in the Spur D and Spur A-B trends, where REE indications along with gold anomalies in float and bedrock samples have been found by Riverside’s exploration and earlier prospecting work.
