About Sixtymile:
The Sixtymile project is unique because a portion of a mineralized thrust fault was preserved between normal faults within a negative flower structure relating to a step-over between the Sixtymile-pika fault system. This thrust fault zone is delineated at surface as a gold in soil anomaly that spans the entire length of property and ranges up to 2km wide.
Orogenic gold mineralization at the Sixtymile property is related to regional high-angle Late-Jurassic thrust faults. These brittle-ductile faults correlate to the start of the cordilleran orogeny and can be traced for hundreds of kilometers. The large thrust fault system (D4 deformation) is attributed to gold mineralization in the Sixtymile, Klondike and White Gold districts.
