Capsule Geology

The LITTLE showing is located on the east side of Burnell Creek valley, approximately 3.1 kilometres southeast of Mount Franklin.

The showing occurs in pyritic tuff and calcareous conglomerate of the Devonian-Triassic Harper Ranch Group which is hosted by granodiorite of an unnamed Middle Jurassic intrusion.

The LITTLE showing consists of a quartz-calcite-siderite vein which contains a small amount of sulphides. The vein strikes east- west and has a vertical dip. Details about the sulphide mineralization are lacking; but vein hosted galena and sphalerite is common in the area and are assumed to be present. An adit is shown in this area on Geological Survey of Canada Map 133A, published in 1914; but information about the adit is not given.
