General Information

Secondary Commodities: gold, copper, molybdenum
Deposit Type(s): Porphyry Cu-Mo-Au
Location(s): 61.772590 N, -136.798420 W
NTS Mapsheet(s): 115H15
Hand Samples Available at YGS: No

Capsule

The occurrence is underlain by Jurassic foliated granodiorite and leucocratic quartz monzonite, intruded by plugs and dykes of Cretaceous dacite porphyry. The Ribbon zone is currently described a porphyry style molybdenum mineralization. The name derives from the ribbon like appearance of the veins.

In 2010, a broad area (>500 m by 1000 m) of silica-clay-sericite-pyrite alteration of intrusive rock was mapped and corresponds to a weak Au and Mo anomaly in soil. Grab samples from 2010 returned values of up to 1835 ppm Mo.
