Wayka lies along an elevated ridge that trends northeast with elevations ranging from approximately 3,600 metres to 3,700 metres above sea level and is bound to the East by the El Buitre Porphyry and to the West by the Emma Porphyry.
Interpreting the upper portion of the high sulfidation system.
Approximately 188 metres north of Trench 14, a hydrothermal breccia 5 metres wide, comprised of silicified meta-granite and schist fragments in a silica matrix was sampled (Trench 31). Assay results returned anomalous gold (up to 0.043 g/t Au). This trench was excavated near the bottom of a partially eroded lithocap comprised mainly of silica, which is exposed as a silicified ridge. See map and a schematic cross section below.
The interpreted schematic cross section below, shows the remnant silica cap in relation to trenches and channels sampled (T-5, T-6, T-14, C-1, C-2, C-8 and T-31). Mineralization exposed by erosion in Trench 14 returned 8.02 g/t gold across 9 metres (News Release
Schematic Cross Section showing mineralized structures in relation to lithocap
Lithocaps associated with high sulphidation epithermal systems typically occur as silicic altered rocks with pyrite, either as stratabound replacements, veins and/or breccia cement. Silica caps are erosional remnants of what were once extensive lithocaps and may be considered the upper sections of epithermal systems. Silica caps are mostly barren and/or weakly anomalous of significant gold mineralization.
As geological field work at Wayka continues, we anticipate our understanding of the mineralized system to improve as more detailed work is completed. At present, Wayka has been observed to remain open in all directions.
