Porphyry gold-copper-molybdenum deposit.

Based on the mine plan and production schedule, the Mill Ore Reserve (proven and probable) is calculated as 965.2 million tonnes at 0.20% copper, 0.24 g/t gold, 0.023% molybdenum, and 1.74 g/t silver. The Heap Leach Reserve (proven and probable) adds up to an additional 157.5 million tonnes at 0.29 g/t gold, 0.036% copper and 2.21g/t Ag.

Geochronology

Mineralization age: Late/Upper Cretaceous : 75.05 ± 0.28 Ma to 74.36 ± 0.28 Ma

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
