Capsule Geology

The Silver Ranch is located east of Boomerange Mountain, within Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park.

Mineralization and alteration occurs along northwest trending linears. The linears comprise clay and limonite altered potassium feldspar porphyritic granite. The quartz-pyrite-limonite alteration zone is up to about 5 metres wide. Quartz veins with coarse pyrite are up to 1 metre thick within the altered zone. The veins are discontinuous, cut by anastamosing shears. Minor galena and sphalerite occur in the quartz veins.

A sample taken in 1987 assayed 430 grams per tonne silver, 7.1 grams per tonne gold, 0.045 per cent copper, 7.8 per cent lead and 7.6 per cent zinc (Open File 1988-11).
