Capsule Geology

The Gilt Edge claim (Lot 977) lies 1 kilometre to the north of the Phoenix pit (082ESE020), at the head of Deadman gulch in an area of extensive drift cover. The early exploratory work, dating from prior to 1912, consists of a shallow shaft, some trenching and a few diamond drill holes.

The mineralized zone, consisting of pyrite and chalcopyrite disseminations, is of slight superficial extent. It is cut off to the west by an augite porphyry dike (Tertiary), while to the east it is overlain by sediments (arkose) of the Kettle River Formation and lavas of the Marron Formation, both of Tertiary age.

See Phoenix for additional details on development, geology and mineralization in the area.
