Interpretive geological cross section looking northwest through the western Copper Wolf Project area. Two target zones of potassic alteration are shown at depth. These are likely to have been part of the same porphyry system that has been dissected by the Burro Fault.
Schematic cross section showing generalised alteration-mineralization zoning patterns for porphyry Cu deposits by Sillitoe (2010). The chlorite-sericite alteration zone is not typically found in Cu-Mo systems, whichh are dominantly sericitic. The interpreted positions of the Sun Devil and Aztecs prior to tilting & faulting of the Copper Wolf West porphyry system are annotated. Oxidiation and supergene enrichemnt will overprint these alteration relationships.
Sun Devil Prospect - Intense quartz + iron oxide stockwork veining cutting altered intrusive rock with potassic alteration in the form of k-feldspar vein halos.
