The Mabon and Ealue properties are alkalic type porphyry prospects located within the Stikine Arch porphyry copper-gold belt of northwestern British Columbia. This is the setting for several major copper-gold deposits and prospects throughout northern British Columbia such as Red Chris and has a resource in excess of 500 million tonnes grading 0.32% copper and 0.254 grams of gold per tonne; Galore Creek/Copper Canyon, which is one of the largest and highest grade undeveloped porphyry-related gold-silver-copper deposits in North America; the GJ prospect, which has yielded a number of significant gold-copper intersections including 68 metres grading 0.70% copper and 1.7 grams of gold per tonne; and, Kemess, which is expected to produce 280,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 0.64 grams of gold per tonne and 76 million pounds of copper with an average grade of 0.22% copper in 2005.
Very little work has been carried out on the Mabon and Ealue properties, although given the intensity of hydrothermal alteration and the presence of widespread sulphides, the occurrence of copper-gold mineralization and the similar geological setting to many of the other alkalic porphyry copper-gold systems in the area, Gravity West believes the Mabon and Ealue properties have considerable upside potential for hosting a copper-gold porphyry deposit.
