Capsule Geology

The Cable property lies northwest of Mount Woodbury, within Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park.

Underlying rocks are hornblende potassium feldspar porphyritic granite. Trenches expose a 2.0 metre wide argillic altered fault zone which contains a 0.8 metre quartz vein. The footwall is defined by a fine-grained fractured and altered lamprophyre dyke. Alteration extends 0.6 metre into the hangingwall.

Mineralization is restricted to sparsely disseminated pyrite. Values in silver, platinum, and traces of gold are reported from Cairnes, 1935, but have not been duplicated.

A grab sample taken in 1987 analyzed 9.0 grams per tonne silver, 0.05 gram per tonne gold and 0.01 per cent zinc (Open File 1988-11).
