The project sits adjacent to the town of Stewart in northwestern British Columbia, and is serviced by year-round paved highways from Terrace. Prince George and Vancouver.
Stewart is a deep-water, ice-free port with loading facilities on the Portland Canal.
Substantial infrastructure improvements have been made with the support of the local First Nations, community and government of British Columbia, including:
*Upgraded transmission lines providing clean, affordable and reliable hydroelectric power
*Highway upgrades
*Improved port infrastructure
*Commissioning of three new hydroelectric facilities
The Golden Triangle is home to several historic and operating mines, as well as advanced exploration projects, including:
Eskay Creek (Skeena): Discovered in 1988, the former mine produced 3.3 million ounces of gold and 160 million ounces of silver, and was once the worlds highest-grade gold mine and the fifth-largest silver mine by volume.
Brucejack (Pretivm): This recently producing mine has total gold reserves of 8.7 million ounces which will be produced over an 18 year mine life.
Red Mountain (IDM Mining): 583,700 ounces of gold and 1,655,700 ounces of silver (Measured and Indicated); feasibility completed in 2017
Dolly Varden (Dolly Varden Silver): historic 20 million ounce silver production, currently undergoing resurgence of new exploration with identification of new zones.
The Porter Idaho deposit sits on the circum-Pacific Ring of Fire; a geologically active area surrounding the Pacific Ocean.
Millions of years of crustal subduction and continent building have formed the perfect conditions for some of the worlds largest and most well known epithermal and porphyry deposits.
The Porter Idaho project is complemented by StrikePoint’s portfolio of early stage exploration properties in the Yukon, giving the company an excellent placement for success within the Ring of Fire.
Property is underlain by a variety of intermediate to felsic fragmental volcanic rocks of the Jurassic Hazelton Group.
N to NW-trending, westerly-dipping silver veins are present in the Prosperity-Porter Idaho and Silverado workings.
The 2,000 meters long prospective area between these workings has historically been obscured by the Silverado Glacier, but recession of summer ice-pack is uncovering new areas each year.
The Silverado Fault extends through Prosperity, Porter Idaho & Silverado; known silver bearing veins are proximal to this fault zone.
Mineralized veins on Mount Rainey are epithermal in nature and terminate on the Big Rig Fault.
