Capsule Geology

The SBN-9 occurrence is located about 44 kilometers southeast of the town of Fernie, about 1 kilometre north of Twentynine Mile Creek.

The area of the SBN-9 showing is underlain by mudstone, siltstone and fine shale of the Upper Cretaceous Alberta Group. Sedimentary rocks of the Proterozoic Purcell Super group are thrust over the Alberta rocks. A Cretaceous syenite-trachite stock intrudes the strata a few kilometres to the west and syenite-trachyte dikes, plugs and breccias are mapped at the SBN-9 showing. A 1986 chip sample graded 0.316 gram per tonne gold and 3 grams per tonne silver over 5 metres (Assessment Report 15095, Sheet 2, Plates 86-3b and 86-4b).

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