Exploration Potential
The potential for porphyry mineralization below the AAA lithocap is seen as the primary target at Kamitsue. As the lithocap is interpreted to have eroded below the vuggy silica-alunite zone, porphyry mineralization if present, could be expected at approximately 500 m below surface.
This is supported by alteration and coincidental metal zonation patterns typical of an intermediate to higher levels of a porphyry system
