NMI
Name G20-27, MOYIE ANTICLINE Mining Division Fort Steele, Nelson
BCGS Map 082F010
Status Showing NTS Map 082F01E
Latitude 049º 03' 51'' UTM 11 (NAD 83)
Longitude 115º 59' 58'' Northing 5435068
Easting 573088
Commodities Zinc, Lead Deposit Types

Capsule Geology

The G20-27 showing is located about 7 kilometres east-southeast of the village of Yahk.

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 G20-27 was taken from a “slumped zone” of siltite while Sample G20-27A (having the same UTM coordinate as sample G20-27) was reported to be taken from a dark concretional bed/zone with actinolite. The lab assay value for Sample G20-27 was 0.43 per cent zinc (negligible lead etc.) and the lab assay value for G20-27A was 0.11 per cent lead (negligible zinc etc.) (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.
