Capsule Geology

The Valley mineral occurrence is on the Rogue Property of Snowline Gold Corp. The property has a 9-kilometre trend of hornfelsing with associated anomalous gold in rocks, soils and stream sediment samples. Along this trend are two suspected members of the Tombstone plutonic suite Cretaceous intrusions.
The Valley target was discovered in 2021 and consists of an intrusive stock with sheeted gold-bearing quartz veins. Visible gold is found in sulphide veins in the surrounding hornfels. Drill hole V-21-003 intersected 168.65 m grading 1.25 g/t gold. a second hole, V-21-004 intersected 93.80 m grading 0.77 g/t gold.

A second occurrence, the Gracie occurrence is an inferred blind intrusion some 4.5 kilometres east of Valley, thought to be present based on alteration of rocks at surface and geophysical response.
