Kenorland Minerals - Tanacross Project

• Regional structural setting analogous to world-class porphyry districts

• Regional stream sediment sampling highlights the entire project area with elevated copper

• Occurrence of significant porphyry Cu-Mo-Au mineralization (Taurus deposit) in the immediate project area as well as widespread proximal and distal alteration/mineralization

• Historic exploration focused on sparse outcrop exposures; majority of property covered by residual soils – soil geochemistry is effective

• Leached environment; supergene mineralization is preserved

• Ongoing tectonic and metallogenic studies through both MDRU Yukon-Alaska Metallogeny Project as well as the USGS

• Recent major discoveries (i.e. Coffee, 2010 and Tetlin, 2012) highlight the mineral potential of the region which remains vastly underexplored

Tectonic evolution of the Northern Cordillera

A. Mid-Permian - West-dipping subduction beneath the outboard, allochtonous Yukon-Tanana terrane (YTT)

B. Late Triassic - Closure of the Seventymile-Slide Mountain ocean; development of a new east-dipping subduction zone and associated Late Triassic plutonism in the YTT

C. Early Jurassic – Continued subduction beneath the continental margin results in orogen-parallel thrusting; syn-kinematic to slightly post-kinematic intrusions

D. Mid Cretaceous – Northeast-dipping subduction results in collision of the Wrangellia composite terrane (WR), extension and exhumation of Yukon Tanana assemblage with post-kinematic intrusion of mid-Cretaceous granitoids with coeval calderas

E. Late Cretaceous – Formation of outer northeast-dipping subduction zone; slab breakoff and inactive subduction of the inner mid-Cretaceous subduction zone; late Cretaceous plutonism with coeval calderas

• Many significant porphyry Cu deposits are spatially associated with intersections between arc-parallel and arc-perpendicular structures

• Vertically accretive cross-orogen structures represent early extensional transform faults controlled by an early basin architecture

• These structures are in turn reactivated repeatedly during arc-development as conduits for mineralising fluids from the mantle into the upper crust
