Exodus; North Lantern; South Lantern; NW Extension; High Desert
Structure: The N50W striking Castle Reef fault is one of several major Carlin district northwest faults that have complex kinematics, frequently displaying evidence of multiple stages of recurrent normal, oblique, and apparent strike-slip movement.
Alteration: silicification
Commodity: Ore Materials: gold Gangue Materials: quartz
Deposit: The Lantern and Bullion Monarch orebodies are Carlin-type gold deposits in the central Carlin trend. The Lantern, West Carlin, and Perry (Peregrine) deposits are aligned along the N50W strike of the Castle Reef fault. Most of the gold occurs in a zone at the base of the pit where 2 or more north-trending faults intersect. This zone curves to the west in the base of the pit and is truncated at its north end by a cross-cutting structure which is apparently unmineralized. Deposit is tightly structurally controlled. Gold occurs in the fault gouge associated with arsenic, and silicification and jasperoid development. Mineralizing fluids are thought to be post-faulting, having traveled along pre-existing fracture system.
Deposit type: Sediment-hosted Au
Development: Active stripping of waste rock was under way in 1982
Ore(s): In the central Carlin trend, the Lantern, West Carlin, and Perry (Peregrine) deposits are aligned along the N50W strike of the Castle Reef fault.
