Fyre Lake Project 1997: Kona Copper-Cobalt-Gold Deposit Geology

44 diamond drill holes from a 1997 program doubled the known size of the Kona deposit. The Government of Yukon documented a volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit with a defined strike length of 1500 m and width of 250 m, containing a 15 million tonne mineralized container. The deposit remains open for expansion to the southeast.

Use Cases

• Modeling deposit geometry based on the defined strike length of 1500 m and width of 250 m
• Assessing open pit extraction potential based on the northern, near-surface portion description
• Analyzing mineralization zones based on the described East Kona and West Kona parallel trends
• Planning exploration drilling based on the deposit being open for expansion to the southeast

Strengths

• Contains specific geological measurements, including a strike length of 1500 m and width of 250 m
• Describes a substantial mineralized container of 15 million tonnes
• Documentation includes detailed stratigraphic and mineralogical context for the deposit

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to a single project location
