Regional Setting
The Dominican Republic occupies the eastern two thirds of the island of Hispaniola, located between Cuba and Puerto Rico in the central Caribbean Sea. Hispaniola is comprised in large part of Early Cretaceous to Eocene island arc assemblages and back arc basins, with a strong northwest elongation and structural grain parallel to major fault zones. On the islands of Hispaniola, Puerto Rico and Cuba, mineralization and intrusive activity is known to be focused along northwest trending structures.
IMPACT's El Brujo, La Bruja, Tedeche, Baritina, La Culebra and Athena concessions are cut by several regional scale northwest trending structures and underlain by the Early Cretaceous Los Ranchos Formation. Some 100 km to the west, the Los Ranchos Formation is host to the world class Pueblo Viejo high sulphidation epithermal gold deposit, with 5 million ounces of oxide-hosted gold mined and 20 million ounces of sulphide-hosted gold in reserves
