![]() ![]() The Casino Project is a porphyry deposit with four primary mineralisation types of copper, gold, and molybdenum occurring in breccias, granitoids, and schists. Younger, non-mineralised dykes intrude the tonalite stock and surrounding granitods and metamorphic rocks forming a pipe-like body to the west and a dyke-like body to the east. The northern, southern, and eastern contact of the stock is brecciated due to the intrusion of the tonalite stock into the older rocks. The deposit lies on the Patton Porphyry, an east-west elongated tonalite porphyry stock of the Upper Cretaceous-age, which intrudes Mesozoic granitoids of the Dawson Range Batholith and the Paleozoic schists and gneisses of the Yukon Crystalline Complex. The Casino copper-gold project covers a mining tenement of approximately 13,124ha on the north-westerly trending Dawson Range Mountains in the Yukon Territory of Canada, approximately 300km north-west of Whitehorse and 150km away from Carmacks. ![]() The mine life of the Casino project is estimated to be 22 years while the total pre-production capital investment is estimated to be approximately £1.86bn ($2.5bn). ![]()
