![]() The Haldane is a structurally controlled, silver vein prospect located within the same geological formation as all the other major silver discoveries in the Keno Hill Silver District in central Yukon. The Haldane Silver Prospect consists of 143 contiguous quartz mineral claims, covering over 21, 000 contiguous acres, in one of the most prolific silver producing regions in Canada. Between 1921 and 1988, the Keno Hill silver district produced more than 217 million ounces of silver with average grades of 40.5 ounces per ton silver, 5.6 per cent lead and 3.1 per cent zinc (Yukon government's Minfile database). The historical production grades would rank Keno Hill in the top 3 per cent by grade of today's global silver producers. The Keno Hill district is the second-largest historical silver producer in Canada. The Haldane property is well situated about 25 kilometres west of the main Keno Hill deposits. Mineralization is controlled by northerly trending structures, and consists of galena, sphalerite and tetrahedrite-tennantite in quart-siderite gangue. The best mineralization found to date occurs where the mineralized structures cut the Keno Hill quartzite unit, below the Robert Service Thrust. This is almost identical to the setting for mineralization at the main Keno Hill deposits. Any historical data presented here is not necessarily representative of this prospect itself. Habanero plans to file a 43-101 report once completed. Jason Gigliotti, President of Habanero stated, "This project offers Habanero an opportunity to enter into one of the most prolific silver producing regions in Canada. Silver prices are currently near historic highs and management is optimistic regarding what this prospect may mean for Habanero in the future." The Bellekeno Silver Mine (Alexco) The Haldane Prospect is bordering Alexco Resources Corp. (AXR.T) who's Bellekeno mine is now on line and is Canada's only primary silver mine and one of the highest-grade silver operations in the world. |
