Capsule Geology

The HTMS occurrence is located north of Liverpool Creek at an elevation of approximately 1910 metres.

The area is underlain by sedimentary rocks of the middle Creston Formation intruded at their (faulted) contact with Kitchener Formation by diorite sills of the Moyie Intrusions; all these units belong to the mid-Proterozoic Purcell Supergroup.

Locally, a north east-trending shear zone hosts narrow, up to 15-centimetre wide, quartz veins in sheared sediments. Mineralization consists of pyrite with minor galena, chalcopyrite and sphalerite with rare free gold.

In 2002, three rock samples (HTSM-1 through 3) assayed from 0.33 to 5.37 grams per tonne gold, whereas three samples (HS-3 through 5), taken lower down slope, assayed from 0.18 to 3.8 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 27025).

During 2000 through 2002, National Gold Corporation completed programs of geological mapping and silt, soil and rock sampling on the area as the HS and Zinger claims. In 2003, Chapleau Resources conducted an extensive exploration program of surface prospecting, rock and soil sampling and geological mapping on the area as the Zinger property.
