Capsule Geology

Mineralization on the PBE 31 and 32 occurs in an east-west trending shear which is indicated as trending for about 500 metres. Heavy pyrite with chalcopyrite is reported. A chip across 2.4 metres yielded 0.03 per cent copper, 0.03 per cent zinc, 0.01 per cent lead, 0.03 per cent antimony, 2.4 grams per tonne silver and 0.1 gram per tonne gold, (Assessment Report 3172). The area of the showing was mapped by Cronus Minerals, who documented the showing, as hornblende-rich gneiss and schist of the Grand Forks Gneiss/Monashee Complex.

In 1971, Cronus Minerals Limited conducted an airborne magnetometer and scintillometer survey over their SD and PBE claims. A number of showings were documented over the claim group at the time. The showing appears on maps 2 and 3 as Showing 12 on the PBE 31 and 32 claims.
