Intrusive-breccia-hosted gold mineralization associated with ca. 92 Ma Tombstone Plutonic Suite magmatism: An example from the Bear Paw breccia zone, Clear Creek, Tintina gold belt, Yukon

The Bear Paw breccia zone is located at the Clear Creek property in the Tintina gold belt, central Yukon Territory. Gold mineralization occurs in hydrothermal breccias with stockwork quartz + potassium-feldspar + sulphide veins that overprint earlier intrusive and tectonic breccias. Grades of up to 2.3 g/t gold over 31.8 m have been intersected in recent drilling. The Bear Paw breccia zone is 1.5 km from any significant-sized granitoid stock and thus is indicative of the high potential for gold mineralization outboard of Tombstone Plutonic Suite stocks.
