Geology and Mineralization

The VBW claims are underlain by Hyland Group metasedimentary rocks with minor outcropping igneous rocks. The VBW claims cover the southwest extension of the Potato Hills Trend, a > 13 km long zone of gold mineralization and geochemical anomalies corresponding with the regional-scale Tombstone High Strain Zone and the northwest contact of the Dublin Gulch granodiorite. Felsic igneous rocks interpreted to be of similar chemistry and origin to the Dublin Gulch granodiorite outcrop in the central part of the claims. In the southern part of the VBW claims YGS geologists mapped a 2 km east-west trending zone of contact metamorphism in the Hyland Group metasedimentary package but did not identify a contributing intrusion in the vicinity, although the presence of a hornfels zone strongly suggests a proximal buried plutonic body.
