Canplats Website description of Represa Mineralization
The Represa Zone's mineralization starts at surface and consists of a widespread system of gold, silver and base metal mineralization. It is hosted in weak to moderately brecciated siltstones and sandstones which have been flooded with hematite, manganese and isolated fine quartz veinlets. The area is generally covered with overburden ranging from 0.25 meters to in excess of ten meters in thickness. The Represa Zone was defined by an extensive backhoe test pitting program and remains open to the east and south where test pitting could not reach bedrock.

"Indeed, Albino (1993) points out that the common enrichment of As, Sb, and Hg in both
Carlin-type systems and distal-disseminated Ag–Au deposits partly results from these elements having the ability to be transported as bisulfide complexes. In addition, Albino (1993) points out that many distal-disseminated Ag–Au deposits are enriched in Mn,"
