Capsule Geology

The location of the Lavola Creek placer gold occurrence (number 212 in Bulletin 28, page 15) is poorly known, being described only as "a tributary of Goat River north of Kitchener". The topographic map shows a Lovola Creek in this position, and the occurrence is arbitrarily plotted on this stream. Nothing further is known except for the recorded production of 280 grams of gold in the period 1936-1940. The placer gold is assumed to be present in Quaternary glaciofluvial gravel and clay surficial deposits. Bedrock consists of argillite and siltstone of the Cambrian Eager Formation.
