Copper
Location
The Goshen property consists of 322 claims covering part of the Carboniferous-aged Moncton sedimentary sub-basin. The Basin is a post-tectonic successor basin of the larger Maritimes Carboniferous Basin which extends from Newfoundland southwest through Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick.
Property Information
 This geological environment is considered highly permissive for the development of Sediment-hosted Stratiform Copper (SSC) deposits. The permeable zones of fining upward fluvial cycles, along with fault and fracture zones permit groundwater transport of metals through oxidized beds.
The property hosts a historical copper prospect known as the Goshen Prospect. This prospect is reported to contain a resource (non 43-101 compliant) of approximately 25,000 tons grading 2.25% Cu. Mineralization occurs along the Caledonia fault zone; a major north-east trending structure.
Similar geological environments elsewhere in the world, such as the Kupferschiefer in Poland, host world-class SSC-type copper deposits. The Dzhezkazgan Basin of Kazakhstan, a Carboniferous-aged sedimentary basin in a similar geological setting, is known to host up to 400 million tons grading 1.54% Cu.
