Crescent property, south Yukon

The Crescent occurrence consists of black sphalerite, pyrrhotite, pyrite and magnetite in garnet-diopside-epidote-actinolite skarn hosted by sheared, brecciated schist and hornfels near a fault-bounded slab of Jurassic diorite south of Crescent Lake. The mineralization is believed to have replaced brecciated calc-silicate rock in the footwall of a south-dipping thrust fault which passes through the Crescent Lake area and extends through the Dan prospect 5.8 km to the east.
