Capsule Geology

The Wewa showing is located 25 kilometres west of Castlegar at the headwaters of Big Sheep Creek.

The area is underlain by monzonite, diorite, granite and granodiorite of the Middle to Late Jurassic Nelson Intrusions and these have in turn been intruded by feldspar-hornblende-biotite porphyry dykes, feldspar porphyry andesite (?) and biotite porphyry andesite(?) of the Middle Eocene Coryell Intrusions. Silicification is common and the monzonite is propylitically altered.

Mineralization, consisting of chalcopyrite, pyrite, fluorite, magnetite and possibly molybdenite, occurs associated with fault breccia. No other information is available.

This is likely the same occurrence as Wewa (082ESE167).
