Capsule Geology

The G20-247 showing is located about 5 kilometres east-northeast of the village of Yahk, and 3.5 kilometres southeast of the Moyie River.

The region of the showing is underlain by argillite, greywacke, wacke and/or conglomerate turbidites of the Helikian Aldridge Formation (Purcell Supergroup). Gabbro-diorite sills and dikes of the Proterozoic Moyie Intrusions intrude the sequence.

Sample G20-247con was reported to be a sample from a concretion-bearing quartzite near chlorite-altered gabbro. Concretions in the region are reported to be large with others forming penny sized zones of spotting. Zinc levels from concretional material were moderate to highly elevated. The assay value for sample G20-247con was 0.285 per cent zinc and 0.055 copper (Assessment Report 39483).

WORK HISTORY

In 2020, a program of rock and soil sampling was conducted by Kootenay Resources Inc on their Moyie Anticline property utilizing both laboratory and portable XRF analytical techniques (Assessment Report 39483). During the 2020 field program more than 1420 XRF readings were taken and compiled. Several areas with anomalous lead, zinc, copper as well as gold were found during the program. The Moyie Anticline property covered parts of the 082GSW and 082FSE map areas.
