By GlobalDataThe property hosts a series of well-developed shear/fracture zones hosting near-surface quartz veins. The veins have produced high-grade intersections for gold in drilling, trenching and underground sampling.
In the fall of 2013, Coast Mountain Geological conducted an exploration program to evaluate the copper-gold porphyry potential of the property and test for extensions to the shear hosted, high-grade gold in quartz veins located in the Discovery Zone.
To date, work at Bonaparte has outlined at least ten veins in an area 300mt wide and 350mt long with the targets remaining open in all directions.
