High-grade copper–gold occurrences, possible concealed intrusions and a district of intersecting structures give Colossus a substantial geological question: could the known workings be expressions of a larger porphyry-related mineral system?
Historical drilling, structural and alteration maps, USGS regional context and a programme to test the model · Colossus project
A major regional fault has displaced rocks correlated with Silverwood. Reconstructing that history can sharpen the search for intrusive centres, mineralised structures and preserved parts of older systems.
