Revelstoke Mining District, British Columbia
The Western Star Project
Critical Metals Potential in British Columbia
Western Star Project, Revelstoke Mining District
Project Overview
The Western Star Project consists of intensely deformed, stratiform-type deposits consisting of siderite and mineralized quartz formations with pyrite, galena, and sphalerite. These mineralized zones are typically localized along steeply dipping limestone-chlorite schist contacts, representing a significant exploration opportunity in British Columbia's Revelstoke Mining District.
