Capsule Geology

The Gluepot occurrence is located at 1524 metres elevation, northwest of Keen Creek and southwest of its junction with the Long Creek tributary. Kaslo, British Columbia lies about 19 kilometres to the east.

Workings of the Gluepot occurrence consist of a 55-metre long adit, driven along a shear zone hosted in coarse-grained diorite of the Middle Jurassic Nelson batholith. The shear zone is about 1.2 metres wide, strikes 235 degrees and dips 70 degrees to the northwest. A lamprophyre dike follows the hangingwall of the shear zone and an acidic dike the footwall. A number of opencuts prove a strike length of the shear zone of up to 61 metres.

A 15 centimetre or less quartz vein is hosted in this shear zone, and carries a little pyrite and a disseminated silver-bearing mineral, probably tetrahedrite.
