Capsule Geology

The Hass Creek prospect is located on the south side of Hass Creek 1.5 kilometres southwest of Greenwood. The property is accessed from a series of interconnected old logging roads leading from the Deadwood area to the north and from the Skomac mine 1 kilometre to the south. The target of exploration (a minor amount of drilling and trenching), dating from the early 1980Æs, is a series of talc lenses hosted in a band of serpentinite intruding a fault zone that follows the lower course of Hass Creek to Boundary Creek. The fault and serpentinite is at the contact between the 'Old Diorite' unit (Upper Paleozoic) and Permo-Carboniferous metavolcanics of the Attwood Group. The sheared marginal phases of the serpentinite are commonly altered to talc and talc-carbonate schist.
