Capsule Geology

The Envy occurrence is located on a south-facing hill side to the north of Blueberry Creek, approximately 3.5 kilometres east-northeast of Gem Hill.

The area is underlain by Middle Jurassic Nelson Intrusions, which are themselves intruded by the Middle Eocene Coryell Batholith and numerous Tertiary mafic dikes. The Nelson Intrusions consist of porphyritic granite, granodiorite, quartz monzonite, monzonite and tonalite with minor diorite. The Coryell Intrusions consist of coarse-grained porphyritic syenite and lesser granite, diorite and monzonite. To the southeast clastic sedimentary rocks of the Carboniferous to Permian Mount Roberts Formation are exposed.

Locally, former pits expose a silicate- altered unit of argillite and chert with garnet-actinolite-hornblende hosting veinlets of pyrite, galena, sphalerite and iron carbonate. In 2007, a sample (ENV07-013) assayed 0.260 per cent lead and 0.219 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 29506).

Another sample (ENV07-003), taken a few hundred metres to the north west, from a 2 metre wide interval of garnet-diopside skarn hosting molybdenite, assayed 0.070 per cent molybdenum (Assessment Report 29506).

In 2006 and 2007, the area was prospected by Kootenay Gold Inc. as the Envy property.

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