Hidden Creek

Overview

Massive and stockwork dissemination, in 8 bodies. Tholeiitic basalt. Note: Cu grade calculated from production plus resources, Au and Ag grades projected from past production. Minfile classified this deposit as a Cyprus-type, but lack of ophiolite sequence and abundant pelitic sediments would tend to put it in the pelitic-mafic type class. Early discovery suggests deposit was exposed at the surface.
