Capsule Geology

The Winner (Lot 1158) is located 6 kilometres southeast of Greenwood and 14 kilometres northwest of Grand Forks.

The property is underlain by Upper Paleozoic volcanics and metasediments of the Attwood Group and greenstones of the Knob Hill Group. These are cut by granodiorite of the Cretaceous-Jurassic Greenwood intrusions and the Permian or older 'Old Diorite'. Mineralization occurs mainly as fissure fillings and replacement veins along multiple parallel, northwest trending structures hosted by greenstone, diorite and schist. Host rocks in the vicinity of the showings are bleached, argillic, silicified, carbonatized and pyritized.

In 1932 and 1933, shafts, one up to 15 metres, were sunk on a quartz vein up to 1.8 metres wide. The vein strikes northwest for about 120 metres and carries pyrite, chalcopyrite and free gold. Production between 1934 and 1940, totalled 59 tonnes, yielding 435 grams of gold and 1026 grams of silver.

Silver Lady Resources Inc. acquired the property in October 1986 and conducted sampling and geophysical surveys. A grab sample from the Winner shaft assayed 39.4 grams per tonne gold and 19.5 grams per tonne silver (Kim, 1987).

During 2008 through 2012, Grizzly Discoveries Inc. completed programs of soil, stream sediment and rock sampling, geological mapping and ground geophysical surveys on the area as the Overlander area of the Greenwood property. In 2009, a sample (09JHP120) of mineralized quartz vein was collected from a trench in the area and assayed 7.99 grams per tonne gold (Dufresne, M. (2013-11-25): Technical Report for the Greenwood Gold Project).
