corridors, greenstone–granite contacts and favourable host rocks.
HISTORICAL EXPLORATION IDENTIFIED MULTIPLE
STRUCTURES
Historical aeromagnetic interpretation and fieldwork identified previously
unrecognised structures considered prospective for mineralization.
ANALOGOUS TO KNOWN REGIONAL GOLD SYSTEMS
Gold mineralisation at Mugs Luck is associated with sheared mafic–ultramafic and
BIF contacts comparable to the Monaco, St Tropez and Riviera deposits.
