Capsule Geology

The Loto 3 showing is located along Blueberry Creek, in a roadcut about 1.3 kilometres northwest of the Nancy Green Lake cut-off.

The area is underlain by Paleozoic (?) argillaceous quartzites and argillites which may be part of the Lower Jurassic Rossland Group. These metamorphosed sediments have been intruded by the Middle to Late Jurassic Nelson Intrusions, comprised mainly of granite and granodiorite, and then later by Middle Eocene Coryell Intrusion syenite and associated dykes.

Scheelite mineralization is exposed along a highway roadcut within a 9-metre wide quartz vein. Disseminated scheelite occurs in quartz veins just northwest of this main showing and in several places west of the highway. The host rock is skarn which is crosscut by numerous dykes and dioritic intrusives.

West of the mineralized roadcut, a brecciated dyke, possibly related to the Coryell Intrusion, hosts specular hematite and malachite.

A selected grab sample taken in 1980 from a quartz vein with scheelite assayed 10.97 per cent Wo3 (Assessment Report 8187).

In 2006, Astral Mining Corporation conducted a helicopter-borne geophysical (electromagnetic) survey on the area as a part of the JJ property.
