The Cayley Lode Discovery
The Site Visit – What We Saw:
● Oxidised and low pH fluid = enhanced metal carrying capacity
● Low-pH - hydrothermal fluids had dissociated and produced
H SO and HCl = higher up in the system

● The metal was there, SNDD001 –
SNDD001 – 95m
● 7.7m at 4.14% copper, 1.08g/t gold and 77g/t silver from 94.7m
● 9.5m at 2.93% copper, 0.45g/t gold and 42g/t silver from
154.6m
● The conclusion was that:
● Thursday’s Gossan was a very large hydrothermal
mineralizing system SNDD001 – 156m
● Fluid composition was very favourable
● There was good metal in the system
● Likely driven by a fertile porphyry at depth
SNDD001 – 269m
