Recent 3D modelling indicates strong magnetic and structural correlation.
Field crews focused on the
Inferno Zone where previous highlights include 4.10% Cu, 14.96 g/t Au, and 65 g/t Ag* in quartz-magnetite-chalcopyrite assemblages.A compilation consisting of 3D magnetic inversion, LiDAR imagery, geology, and geochemistry shows an excellent correlation between structure, geology, alteration, and mineralization.

Magnetic Inversion modelling of airborne magnetic data has revealed a strong correlation between mineralization and structure at Fire Mountain. The Inferno Zone contains two closely spaced, highly magnetic zones in a northwest-southeast direction that are spatially related to the contact with the Rogers Creek Pluton and a significant shear structure manifested by fissile and rusty volcanic sediments.

MolyCop and Mag-Low Zones:The 3D inversion has also indicated some low magnetic areas associated with a large structural intersection zone within the Rogers Creek Pluton. This area is known as the MolyCop zone and was originally recognized as a target from soil sampling across the area. The soil samples indicated wide zones of significant Cu-Mo-Au-W-Bi porphyry pathfinder elements, and now with the magnetic data indicating potential porphyry-style, magnetite destructive alteration, this elevates the

Historic chip sampling of the NW-trending, ~1.2m wide by 300m+ long, ribboned epithermal quartz Money Spinner vein assayed 26.25 g/t Au while another parallel vein system ~200m east assayed 13.63 g/t Au*. The Money Spinner vein was mined in the last century with very little modern exploration work performed. The strike of the Money Spinner veins is parallel to the Fire Creek Thrust Fault, a major structure through the project area. Further sampling and mapping are planned at this prospect to determine strike length, vein density and grade.
