Myschka Copper-Gold Project:
The Myschka Area is located 20km north of the Andrew Zinc Deposit and lies within a geological belt known as the Tintina Gold Belt.
The Myschka is situated within an extensional fault setting, demonstrated by at least four east-west trending breccia and alteration zones surrounding a Tombstone Suite granodioritic intrusion. Fracture controlled and replacement-style gold and silver-bearing sulphide mineralisation occurs throughout these breccia zones (predominantly as pyrite, arsenopyrite, galena and stibnite). The zones can be followed for a distance of 1500m, with widths varying from 20 to 100m.
Klad Enterprises conducted soil and rock sampling at Myschka in 1990, with selected samples returning values up to 3017g/t Ag, 75%Pb and 0.2%Zn. In 1996 an independent prospector took composite grab samples of oxidised surface material which assayed at 17%Zn. Subsequently the claims were optioned to Noranda Inc. who carried out a detailed soil sampling program that delineated two anomalous gold zones coinciding with the above mentioned breccias.
Structural and geochemical interpretation suggests that the auriferous sedimentary-hosted breccia zones dip towards the intrusive stock. Fault zones of several orientations appear to have controlled fluid movement and created a multi-staged history of mineralisation.
The Myschka represents a large and highly prospective target with potential to host significant bulk-tonnage gold mineralisation, comparable to the Fort Knox Deposit in Alaska.
It is highly possible that mineralisation within the stock at depth hosts higher gold values.

During the 2007 and 2008 field seasons Overland Resources conducted stream sediment sampling and outcrop rockchip geochemistry that validated and extended the work done by Klad.
