Capsule Geology

The Brenda 2 occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 1390 metres on an east-northeast–trending ridge, south of Trepanier Creek and approximately 5.5 kilometres northeast of the Brenda (MINFILE 092HNE047) openpit.

The area is underlain by porphyritic quartz diorite of the Lower Jurassic Pennask Batholith, locally known as the Brenda stock.

Locally, a 40-metre wide silica-epidote-hematite–altered granodiorite dike(?) hosts variable amounts of chalcopyrite, sphalerite(?), magnetite and malachite.

In 2015, a chip sample (598170) of quartz-, epidote- and hematite-altered rock assayed 1.04 per cent zinc and 0.322 per cent copper over 1 metre, whereas another chip sample (598157) of malachite and chalcopyrite with quartz, located several hundred metres north of the previous sample, assayed 0.115 per cent copper and 0.214 per cent zinc over 2 metres (Assessment Report 35600). A previous rock sample from the area is reported to have yielded 0.27 per cent copper (Assessment Report 35600).

Another zone of anomalous mineralization is reported approximately 2.8 kilometres west-northwest of the previous zone and comprises a quartz stockwork hosting chalcopyrite, magnetite and malachite in a granodiorite.

In 2015, a grab sample (598155) assayed 0.152 per cent copper (Assessment Report 35600).

Work History

In 2013 and 2014, Victory Resources Corp. completed programs of photogeological (structural) interpretation on the area as the Toni property.

In 2015, Frank Renaudat completed a program of prospecting and minor geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling on the area as the Brenda 2 property.
