![Apex Resources Inc. Commences Exploration on Red Ridge and Mt. Anderson Properties, Yukon](https://www.minenportal.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
Mt Anderson Property
The 3100 hectares Mt. Anderson Property is located adjacent to the historic Mount Skukum gold mine, 55 kilometres south of Whitehorse, YT. The road accessible property has had considerable prior exploration work by other operators. This work includes mapping, geochemical and geophysics surveys, and trenching. Several strong drill targets have been identified from the previous work programs. Apex's initial exploration phase for Mt. Anderson will consist of locating, mapping, surveying and due diligence rock/soil sampling the key target areas. Prior results on Mt. Anderson show several styles of mineralization (see Gold World Resources Technical Report on Sedar, H. Lahti, 2012) including:
-
- Mesothermal sulphide-bearing quartz veins with silver-gold-lead-zinc-copper+/antimony mineralization at the Adit, Whirlwind zone and Trench 47 zones.
- Skarn mineralization comprising zinc-lead-copper-silver-gold at the Fleming Skarn and gold-silver-bismuth-tungsten-molybdenum at the Rob Skarn.
- Epithermal quartz-agate-fluorite hosting gold-silver mineralization at the Epi vein and Adanac zone, associated with rhyolite dykes.
Red Ridge Property
The Red Ridge Property covering 530 hectares is located 40 kilometres south of Whitehorse, YT. The initial phase of 2017 exploration work will consist of a geochemical survey, geological mapping, prospecting and rock sampling. The exploration program is designed to generate target areas for follow-up trenching and diamond drilling. Prior work on Red Ridge shows several zones of mineralization (see News Releases dated September 9 and October 12, 2016) including:
-
- East Zone comprised of an alteration zone with silver-copper+/-gold bearing quartz and quartz-barite veins
- Don Zone in sheared granodiorite containing gold-silver-zinc
- Saddle Zone in sheared granodiorite with gold-silver bearing quartz-sulphide stockwork
- Miller Zone, a breccia zone with silver-rich quartz-galena pods
