*As of Jun/2013 the Silver Range Project consists of 4 744 mineral claims. This occurrence record covers the Rebel zone/occurrence which lies within 179 Reb mineral claims.
Originally staked as KD cl 1-26 (Y10219) in Sep/66 by Giant Yellowknife Mines Ltd which carried out geological mapping and soil sampling in 1967.
In Oct/66 Altair Mining Corporation Ltd staked AM cl 1-16 (Y10929) on the west side of the KD claims. In 1967 the company carried out geological mapping, soil sampling, EM and gravity surveying, and drilled 3 holes (354 m). In Aug/67 Altair Mining added AM cl 17-26 (Y20817) to the south west and north sides of their existing claim block.
The KD claims were optioned in 1968 to Mercury Exploration Ltd, which staked other claims to the south and conducted a reconnaissance gravity survey over their claim holdings (including the KD claims) in 1969.
In 1970 by Kangaroo Exploration Ltd, a subsidiary of Cyprus Mines Corporation optioned the Mercury Exploration and Giant Yellowknife claims. From 1970 to 1972 Kangaroo Exploration carried out grid soil sampling, geological mapping, gravity and Turam geophysical surveys on the KD and other claims. In Sep/71 the company staked Taf cl 1-64 (Y62459) east and south of the KD claims.
In late 1972 Kangaroo Exploration drilled 4 holes (629 m) on the KD claims. A year later the company drilled an additional 3 holes (about 600 m).
In 1976 the Mercury, Kangaroo and Giant Yellowknife claims were optioned by Cyprus Anvil Mining Corporation, which carried out Turam, gravity and magnetometer surveys. In 1978 Cyprus Anvil drilled 4 holes (750 m) elsewhere within their large claim block.
In 1978, the KD group reverted to Giant Yellowknife, which drilled 4 holes (609 m) on the KD claims.
In 1980 Cyprus Anvil drilled one hole (481 m) on MX cl 184 located approximately 2 km to the southwest.
Restaked as Reb cl 1-12 (YB27539) in Jun/90 by YGC Resources Ltd, which carried out a prospecting program later in the year. As part of their assessment report YGC completed a compilation map containing the locations all known drill hole locations and significant rock and soil sample results.
Restaked as Hot cl 1-2 (YC19031) in Dec/2000 by R. Hamel. Hamel allowed Hot claim #2 to lapse the following year and paid cash in lieu every year until Jan/2010 when Hot claim #1 was purchased by Strategic Metals Ltd.
In Feb/2010 Strategic Metals Ltd surrounded Hot cl #1 (YC19031) with Reb cl 1-20 (YD09253).
In Mar/2010 K. Wagantall staked Wag cl 1 (YD21801) approximately 1.25 km to the southeast.
Beginning in Jun/2010 Strategic Metals collected 20 wide spread grab and composite rock samples and carried out grid soil sampling over the main Rebel geochemical anomaly. The company also flew a regional ZTEM geophysical survey over all its claim holdings in the area including the Reb claims.
In July/2010, following receipt of preliminary geochemical analyses Strategic Metal staked Reb cl 21-56 (YD62918) Later in the summer Strategic Metals carried out contour soil sampling southeast, southwest and west of the main Rebel geochemical anomaly and reconnaissance silt sampling of all creeks in the area. The company also compiled all historical data for the area.
In Aug/2010 Strategic Metal staked Reb cl 57-72 (YD28035). In Nov/2010 the company staked Reb cl 73-179 (YD01179) and announced the amalgamation of the Reb claim block with the Keg property (located 17 km to the north) and other newly discovered neighbouring areas of porphyry hosted silver-zinc-lead-copper mineralization to form the Silver Range Project.
On January 11, 2011 Strategic Metals announced its intention to spin-out the Silver Range Project and the gold rich Mint Project (Minfile Occurrence 115F 087) located in southwestern Yukon into a new precious metal focused company; Silver Range Resources Ltd. The company and its shareholders would receive shares and purchase warrants in the new company.
In Jun/2011 Strategic Metal commenced their 2011 exploration program. The company carried out a large exploration program on its entire Silver Range Project. Work carried out on this occurrence includes geological mapping carried out over the mineralized zone, collection of 4 samples of massive galena mineralization and 3 diamond drill holes (535.49 m) collared within the Rebel zone to confirm a 69 m long interval of 2.28% zinc, 0.10% copper and 0.10% lead returned from previous drillhole K-72-7. The three holes were designed to confirm the historical result and to test beneath the northern margin area which hosts coincident mineralized float and anomalous soil geochemistry.
On July 19, 2011 Strategic Metals shareholders approved the plan to spin-out the Silver Range Project and the Mint property into a new company Silver Range Resources. On August 9, 2011 the Plan of Arrangement was approved by various securities regulators and Silver Range Resources became the owner/operator of the Reb and other claim blocks.
In Aug/2012 Silver Range Resources completed a 19 hole (1104.9 m) reverse circulation percussion drill program to test anomalous geochemical anomalies associated with northerly-trending topographic linears. The company also contracted a geophysical company to combine, process and analyze all geophysical data collected on the Silver Range Project including the area covered by this occurrence.

The occurrence is located approximately 23 km north of the town of Faro and approximately 356 km by road from Whitehorse. The Faro area is world renowned for its zinc-lead-silver-barite massive sulphide deposits, mining of which began in 1969 and continued with interruptions until 1997. Access to the occurrence location is currently provided by helicopter however a rough tote road exists that runs north from the former Faro mine site to the occurrence area. This road was used in 2012 to move the reverse circulation percussion drill to the occurrence area.
The occurrence is located within the Selwyn Basin a tectonic element comprising deep water clastic rocks, chert and minor carbonate that accumulated along the North American continental margin during Paleozoic time. In the occurrence area the Selwyn Basin lies immediately northeast of units belonging to Slide Mountain and Yukon-Tanana Terranes the most easterly of the allochthonous terranes. Deformation and metamorphism associated with accretion of the terranes was initiated in Jurassic and culminated in Cretaceous. More recently, strike-slip faulting along the Tintina fault resulted in about 450 km of dextral offset during Early Tertiary time. The area is located about 40 km northeast of the fault.
Geological mapping carried out in 2011 over the main Rebel mineralized zone found that the occurrence area is underlain by 3 primary rock units, Ordovician to Silurian age. The first unit comprises volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks that are cut extensively by orange weathering, iron carbonate veins. The second unit comprises black, strongly carbonaceous shale and the third unit, variably deformed, green volcanic breccia interbedded with green, recemented volcaniclastic sandstone, siltstone and tuffaceous rocks and local amygdaloidal basalt flows. The three units are conformable and interbedded.
L. Pigage (2004) of the Yukon Geological Survey assigned the rocks to the Menzie Creek Formation while geologists employed by Silver Range Resources and others assign the rocks to the Marmot Formation. Based on recent mapping programs the Marmot Formation will likely become the accepted name. Regardless the formation dominantly strikes east-southerly and dips shallowly to moderately to the north. Cleavage generally strikes northeasterly and dips to the northwest or southeast. Iron-carbonate veins are mostly orientated to the north-northwest or east-northeast and have variable dips. Mineralization at the Rebel zone is entirely hosted within the third unit.
In 1966 Giant Yellowknife Mines Ltd discovered mineralized float on the KD claims in a well-developed gossan zone near the crest of a small mountain. The zone was camouflaged by intense frost boiling and solifluction and light grass cover. The company collected small fragments of quartz-carbonate gangue in mainly sericite schist that contained galena, sphalerite and some chalcopyrite.The mineralized rock was intensely oxidized and leached to honeycombed siderite with rare lenses of primary sulfide. A composite grab sample of the least oxidized material returned trace gold, 294.85 g/t silver, 8.8 % lead, 1.2 % zinc and 0.2% copper. The galena recorded a silver-lead ratio of about 1:1 and is accompanied on surface by a small amount of unleached sphalerite.
Grid based soil sampling outlined a strongly anomalous lead, zinc and copper anomaly over the center of the KD claims. An airborne geophysical magnetic and electromagnetic survey outlined a strong conducting zone south of the gossan.
Altair Mining Corporation carried out soil sampling and ground electromagnetic and gravity surveys over the center of their claim block. The electromagnetic survey outlined a north-northeast trending conductor that appears to be an extension of the conductor discovered on the KD claims to the east. Soil sampling outlined a copper, lead and zinc anomaly south of the conductor theorized to be caused by low grade disseminated mineralization.
Soil sampling conducted in 1971 by Kangaroo Exploration outlined a highly anomalous lead, zinc and copper anomaly measuring approximately 762 m wide by 1 524 m long centered over the central portion of the KD claims. A smaller coincident silver anomaly lies within the large anomaly. Peak values returned were 10 600 ppm zinc, 4 800 ppm lead, 1 650 copper and 5.0 ppm silver.
In 1972 Kangaroo Exploration followed-up the geochemical anomaly with geological mapping and Turam magnetometer and gravity surveys. Later in the summer the company tested the various geochemical and geophysical anomalies with 4 drill holes (629 m). The best intersection from this drilling was hole 72-7 located along the northern edge of the known mineralized area which intersected approximately 60 m grading 2.3 % zinc including a 3.0 m interval grading 6.6 % zinc, 0.3 % copper. 0.4 % lead, 36.3 g/t silver and 0.2 g/t gold. The mineralization was described as being associated with quartz-sericite-carbonate alteration, and occurs both as disseminations and within amygdules and deformed carbonate veinlets. Follow-up drilling conducted in 1973 failed to intersect any significant mineralization.
In 1977 Giant Yellowknife Mines carried out limited electromagnetic and magnetic surveys around the locations of the 1972-73 drilling. The following year the company collared 4 diamond drill holes to follow-up the identified anomalies. The holes intersected minor mineralization but no assays were taken.
Exploration to the end of the 1970’s concentrated on identifying volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits similar to the neighbouring Faro deposit. As no large deposits were identified, all claims in the area, including the KD claims were allowed to lapse as accumulated assessment credit was used up.
YGC Resources restaked the occurrence to investigate the possibility that known mineralization might be genetically related to concordant massive sulphide mineralization within the volcanic rocks. The company collected representative rock samples from the main mineralized zone. Results were proportionally lower than previous samples but did return a relatively high arsenic response. No evidence for this type of deposit was found and the claims were allowed to lapse in Mar/93.
The 2010 rock samples were collected from gossanous talus located within a 500 m diameter area where previous operators had discovered mineralization. Eighteen of the samples returned results averaging 107 g/t silver, 1.41 % zinc, 2.54 % lead, 0.73 % copper, 129 ppm tin and 37 ppm indium. Soil sampling carried out in 2010 and 2011 outlined a broad (1 750m long by 1 100 m wide) area of strongly anomalous silver, zinc, lead, copper and tin values referred to as the Rebel zone.
The three diamond drill holes completed in 2011 on the Rebel zone were collared near the northern margin of the soil anomaly. Drill hole Reb 11-2 returned 155.84 g/t silver, 12.43 % lead and 3.07 % zinc over a 6.16 m interval. The hole cut fracture-related galena and sphalerite mineralization in partially oxidized volcaniclastic rocks.
The 2012 reverse circulation drill holes targeted potential near-surface, bulk mineable mineralization. Three section lines were used to establish the general location of the holes, however, the actual collars locations were sometimes offset due to topography. All holes, but one were drilled at 90 degrees and a dip of -45 degrees. All holes intercepted volcaniclastic rocks, which are oxidized from surface to the maximum depth of the holes (61 m). Broad intervals of low to medium grade mineralization were encountered, including drill hole RCH-12-07 which averaged 11.49 g/t silver, 0.14 % lead, 1.17 % zinc, 0.10 % copper, 275.2 ppm tin and 32.65 ppm indium over 25.90 m. Six of the holes ended in mineralization.
