Capsule Geology

The HS-Zinger 165 occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 2100 metres, on the south side of a ridge separating the head waters of Liverpool and Shorty creeks.

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, small quartz stock work zones, generally less than 1 metre wide and up to a few tens of metres long, host pyrite, galena and/or chalcopyrite with free gold. The individual veins vary from a few millimetres to 3 centimetres in width and are limonite altered.

In 2002, three rock samples (HS-106,107 and 109) yielded from 2.54 grams per tonne gold to greater than 100 grams per tonne gold in sample HS-107 (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. In 2009, Ruby Red Resources prospected and sampled the area.
