Other/historical names associated with this locality:
Railroad property; POD Zone; East Jasperoid orebody
Alteration: Devonian Lower Plate host rocks are altered.
Commodity: Ore Materials: gold
Deposit: The Pod-East Jasperoid deposits on the northern portion of Royal Standard?s claim block, are near surface oxide gold orebodies hosted by altered lower plate Devonian rocks. In 1998, the geological resource of the POD deposit was reported as 1.4 million tons grading 0.085 opt gold. It has been noted in the literature that the deposit may be pluton-related, and the property does encompass a stock, although genetic implications have not been substantiated.
Deposit type: Sediment-hosted Au
Development: In 1997, the POD property was 50% owned by Exploration Brex Inc., and 50% owned by Exploration Mirandor Inc. who were conducting geologic mapping and sampling and planning a drill program. In 2004, Royal Standard Minerals owned the POD property as part of their Pi?on/Railroad Project, and was in an advanced exploration phase, having completed favorable leach tests on ore material from the POD deposit. In 2006, Royal Standard?s exploration was focused on developing the Main and North Pod near-surface zones in the South Bullion resource area, which includes a large, gold-silver bearing system with measured, indicated and inferred resources of 30.6 million tons grading 0.026 opt (0.01 opt cut-off). RSM sees for a deeper-lying feeder system beneath this low-grade surface mineralization. Their plans include pursuing a mining permit on this property in 2007 for an open pit heap leach operation.
