Geology of the EL CHANATE Project
The El Chanate orebody is gold mineralization which is structurally controlled with no apparent preferential lithological host rock type. Gold mineralization occurs predominantly with zones of thin sheeded quartz veinlets, which are spatially associated with the south dipping El Chanate Fault. Dense swarms of these veinlets form the economic portion of the deposit.
