The rocks<br \/>\nwere deformed during a mid-Mesozoic orogenic event that dismembered a brittle,<br \/>\n100-m-thick dolomite layer into a series of elongate, northeast-trending boudin blocks<br \/>\nwithin more ductile, enclosing limestone. This structural architecture focused meteoric<br \/>\nwaters, such that karst cavities and solution-collapse breccias formed along<br \/>\nboudin margins and necks. These zones subsequently formed pathways and traps for<br \/>\nmineralizing fluids. Alteration types include hematite, limonite, scorodite, silica and<br \/>\ndolomite. As currently defined by drilling, the Long Canyon deposit is approximately<br \/>\n1800mlong in a northeast direction and 400mwide, and consists of several sub-parallel<br \/>\nzones of mineralization focused on boudin block margins and boudin necks. As of<br \/>\nMarch, 2009, the deposit contained a NI 43-101 compliant indicated resource of 4.8<br \/>\nmillion tonnes at an average grade of 2.35 g\/t gold (363,000 ounces) and an inferred resource<br \/>\nof 8.8 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.63 g\/t gold (459,000 ouncesAu, using<br \/>\na 0.3 g\/t Au cut-off grade). It is open down plunge to the northeast, and is open to<br \/>\ndiscovery of flanking, parallel zones of mineralization to the northwest and southeast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4543,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":""},"product_cat":[154],"product_tag":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gsnv.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/2484"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gsnv.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gsnv.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gsnv.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2484"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gsnv.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4543"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gsnv.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2484"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gsnv.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=2484"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gsnv.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=2484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
