Capsule Geology

The GR-24 showing is located several hundred meters south of Wutluk Creek and several hundred metres northwest of Twentynine Mile Creek. The showing is located approximately 30 kilometres southeast of the community of Elko.

The GR-24 showing occurs in an area mapped as siltstone of the Proterozoic Purcell Supergroup, intruded by syenite and trachyte sills, dikes and plugs. A 1986, rock sample (GR-24) collected by Cominco Ltd. south of Wutluk Creek assayed 0.71 gram per tonne gold and 0.6 gram per tonne silver (Sheet 1, Plate 86-4a, Assessment Report 15095). Apparently analyzed for gold and silver only. Common mineralization observed on the Howell property is pyrite, brookite, bitumen with minor fluorite and barite, and traces of galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite. However, mineralization specific to any particular showing was often not reported or indicated on maps.

Drill hole HW-604 was drilled a few hundred metres west-southwest of GR-24 in 2006 by La Quinta Resources Corp. (Assessment Report 28853).

See Eastern Outlier (082GSE078) and Howell 5 (082GSE080) occurrences for work history and related geological information on the Howell property.
