Exploring a Copper-Gold Target on BC's Prolific 'Red Line'

The Ram Project explores porphyry copper-gold potential in BC’s Golden Triangle. Located on the “Red Line” near the Red Mountain deposit, with promising initial findings, this early-stage venture targets large-scale mineralization in an historically rich mineral district.

An Ideal Location

The Ram property is situated in British Columbia's mineral-rich Golden Triangle, a region renowned for its world-class deposits.

  • Next Door to Red Mountain

    Ram directly adjoins Ascot Resources' Red Mountain gold project, which boasts a Measured and Indicated resource of 782,600 ounces of gold and 2,155,800 ounces of silver. This proximity suggests the possibility of geological continuity, enhancing Ram's exploration potential.

  • Access and Infrastructure

    Located 18 km south-southeast of Stewart, BC, Ram benefits from an existing road for 13 km along Bitter Creek, reducing significantly the amount of new road needed for full project access.

  • Near  "Treasure Island"

    The Ram Property is situated 5 kilometers southeast of "Treasure Island", an exciting copper prospect currently being drilled by Goliath Resources, owner of the large Golddigger property. Drilling in 2023 and 2024 at Golddigger, about 15km south of the Ram, has intersected multiple intervals containing visible gold thought to derive from an underlying intrusive.

  • Porphyry Potential

    The Ram property is situated in a geological setting known for porphyry-style deposits, exemplified by the nearby Red Chris and KSM deposits. The recent discovery of a 400m long Malachite Porphyry Zone and porphyry associated mineralization aligns with the Golden Triangle's potential for large-scale porphyry mineralization.

What we've identified so far at the Ram

Recent exploration at the Ram property has revealed two significant zones of mineralization: a 400m long Malachite Porphyry Zone containing chalcopyrite, pyrite, magnetite, and K-feldspar, and the Mitch Zone featuring massive pyrite and chalcopyrite stringers.


  • Chalcopyrite

    Primary copper ore mineral in porphyries. Its presence often indicates economic copper mineralization.1

  • Malachite
    Staining

    Green copper carbonate mineral. A surface indicator of underlying copper mineralization in porphyries.2

  • Bismuth

    Can occur as native bismuth or bismuth minerals. Often associated with gold in porphyry systems.3

  • K-feldspar

    Common in potassic alteration zones. Often associated with higher-grade mineralization in porphyry cores.4

  • Magnetite

    Iron oxide mineral common in porphyry systems. Often associated with copper and gold mineralization in potassic alteration zones.5

The "Red Line": A Golden Triangle Geological Marker

The “Red Line” in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle marks the contact between Triassic Stuhini and Jurassic Hazelton Group rocks, representing a period of intense geological activity 195 million years ago6. This boundary, characterized by volcanism, intrusive events, and structural deformation, created ideal conditions for mineral concentration, particularly gold, silver, and copper7

Major discoveries like KSM, Brucejack, and Eskay Creek lie near this feature, highlighting its importance in mineral exploration8. The contact zone often coincides with areas of enhanced permeability and fluid flow, essential for ore deposit formation9. For projects like the Ram Property, proximity to the “Red Line” suggests increased exploration potential, making it a crucial indicator in this resource-rich region.


Bismuth at the Ram

On August 18, 2024, Teuton/Silver Grail prospectors found evidence of bismuth on the Ram, which was later confirmed by XRF analysis. Bismuth plays a significant role in porphyry systems and has been observed in several deposits across the Golden Triangle.

  • Porphyry Indicator

    Elevated bismuth levels often indicate proximity to porphyry-style mineralization, serving as a valuable pathfinder element.10

  • Zonation Patterns

    In porphyry deposits, bismuth typically shows systematic zonation, helping delineate the extent and structure of mineralization.11

  • Association with High-Grade Zones

    Bismuth is frequently associated with high-grade gold and copper zones in porphyry and related deposits.12

Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues. The quantity and grade of reported inferred resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define these inferred resources as an indicated or measured mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading them to an indicated or measured mineral resource category.

The Ram Project is an early stage exploration property and does not contain any mineral resources as defined by National Instrument 43-101. There is no certainty that further exploration will result in the identification of mineral resources or that any mineral resources that might be discovered will be economically viable.
