Capsule Geology

The BS showing is located on the south side of Jubilee Mountain approximately 24 kilometres north-northeast of Big White Mountain.

The showing consists of chalcopyrite, molybdenite and scheelite as disseminations and in quartz veins which are hosted by an unnamed Middle Jurassic quartz monzonite intrusion. This intrusion was previously mapped as the Middle Jurassic Nelson Intrusions (Geological Survey of Canada Map 1736A). Nickel is also reported but details about the mineralogy are lacking.

The property was held as the BS 1 to 36, PANE 1 to 27 and FERN 1 to 8 claims by Copper Hill Mining and Exploration Co. Ltd. in the late 1960s. In 1968, they carried out geological mapping, magnetometer and geochemical surveys, and built 19 kilometres of access road. In 1969, Copper Hill carried out additional soil and stream geochemical surveys, dug 2 small pits, built 3.2 kilometres of road, and drilled 4 diamond-drill holes for a total of 61 metres of drilling. No reports were filed by Copper Hill on their program.
