Columbia Gold Mines Fyre Lake project is located immediately to the east of Fire Lake, approximately 160 km north of Watson Lake in the Yukon Territory. The 1997 program, consisting of 44 diamond drill holes, doubled the known size of the Kona deposit. Mineralization within the Kona deposit has a defined strike length of 1500 m and a width of 250 m. The Kona deposit is hosted within a strongly deformed and metamorphosed mafic to intermediate volcanic succession of chlorite-quartz and chlorite-actinolite-quartz schists. This volcanic package is overlain by a metasedimentary succession composed primarily of finely laminated carbonaceous phyllite that locally contains 1 to 20 m thick beds of micaceous volcanic-derived sediments. An intercalated unit of quartz-biotite schist and chlorite-mica-quartz schist marks the base of the metasedimentary succession. The Kona deposit consists of two parallel northwest trending zones of copper-cobalt-gold volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralization: East Kona and West Kona. East Kona is made up of two distinct horizons: the Upper Horizon and the Lower Horizon. The Upper Horizon occurs immediately below the contact of the metasediments and the…
