| Oxide mineralization was noted to a depth of 396m and comprises malachite, azurite, cuprite and native copper. Cuprite disseminations and fracture fillings associated with the underlying basalts suggest possible copper-gold mineralization at depth. The mineralization at Amethyst Castle comprises dominantly malachite, azurite and subordinate chrysocolla in an oxide zone underlain by a primary zone of chalcopyrite and chalcocite, with cuprite and bornite (all of which are copper minerals) defining a transitional zone. |
