Work History

The Joumbira cl (YA15151) were staked in June 1977 by CCH Res L (Campbell Chibougamau ML) & Inco, which performed mapping, and rock, silt and soil sampling 1977 and 1978 and hand trenching in 1978. In 1981, CCH carried out soil sampling, prospecting and bedrock mapping.

Re-staked as Joumbira (YB2261) and Lookout cl (YB2313) in June 1988 by J. Moreau, who performed trenching, mapping and rock and soil sampling and added more Lookout cl in June 1989.

Re-staked and consolidated as Haldane cl 1-99 by Equity Exploration Consultants Ltd. who optioned the claims to Habanero Resources Inc. in 2010.

Alianza Minerals Ltd. entered a purchase agreement in 2018 with Equity for the Haldane claims. In 2018, they carried out bedrock mapping at the Fed occurrence.

Regional & Property Geology

The Mt. Haldane area is underlain by the early Carboniferous Keno Hill quartzite. The quartzite overlies mid to late Devonian Earn Group quartz- and feldspar-phyric chloritic phyllite metavolcanics (Roots, 1997). Carbonaceous Earn Group phyllite and siltstone underlie the metavocanics. A large regional thrust fault, the Robert Service Thrust, is present in the area, which puts Keno Hill quartzite into thrust contact with Proterozoic Hyland group phyllite and schist. Numerous Triassic age metadiorite sills intrude both the Keno Hill quartzite and Earn Group rocks located around the occurrence. Several small Cretaceous age granitic dykes and intrusions also intrude the sequence (AR 097320).

Mineralization & Results

At the Fed showing 0.5 km south of the Pro showing (MINFILE occurrence 105M 142), cassiterite crystals occur with radiating aggregates of tourmaline along vertical joints in quartzite. Specimens from this showing contained up to 740 ppm Sn and 1460 ppm W.

A narrow quartz-pyrrhotite-arsenopyrite vein trenched by J. Moreau in 1989 returned low gold and silver values.
