The Paymaster Fault is a 25 kilometre structural trend and the most significant geological feature associated with the historical gold-silver vein deposits in the district. Bends and jogs along a fault like this create the pathways where hydrothermal fluid can move and precious metals can drop out, which is why the corridor is a focus for targeting. Mapping through 2025 and 2026 increasingly supports reading Winston as one connected district-scale system rather than a set of isolated veins.
