Faro
Canada
Another gravity success
 |
Faro is a Sedimentary Exhalative (SEDEX) Pb-Zn deposit located in Yukon. |
 |
Initial exploration lead to the discovery of a geochemical anomaly. |
 |
A magnetic anomaly coincided with the geochemical anomalies. |
 |
The Faro #1 deposit was best outlined by a gravity survey, where both magnetic and geochemical anomalies coincided. A 2.8 mGal anomaly coincided with the thickest section of the ore body. |
|
Preliminary calculations using the gravity results suggest a mass of 44 MMT. It was later proven to contain about 46 MMT. |
