Red Star, Utah
Red Star is a porphyry Co-Mo and skarn project located in Beaver County, Utah, ~300 km SW from Salt Lake City. The property is adjacent to the Star mining district.
Surface alteration and mineralization indicates the presence of a porphyry system beneath post-mineral alluvial ± volcanic cover. Postmineral normal faulting has tilted the porphyry system(s) and mineralization in the district ~40° to the east. Polymetallic (Pb-Zn-Ag-Cu-Au) fissure veins, mantos, and local Zn-rich skarn are hosted in east-tilted and fault-repeated Paleozoic carbonate rocks in the Star district. These fissure veins may be analogous to fissure veins in the Bingham and Tintic districts. Geologic observations and geochemical zonation patterns indicate a westward vector towards down-faulted blocks under alluvial ± volcanic cover.
The primary target at Red Star is the Cu-Mo porphyry and skarn system that is the source of the observed fissure veins, mantos, and distal skarn. Manto/CRD-style replacements in Paleozoic carbonate rocks are additional potential targets.
*Nearby mines and deposits provide context for the project, but do not necessarily indicate similar size, styles or grade of mineralization within the project.
