Capsule Geology

The G20-332Av showing is located about 11 kilometres northeast of the village of Yahk, and 2.5 kilometres southeast of the Moyie River. A sample of a quartz vein returned 0.33 per cent copper (Sample G20-332Av, Assessment Report 39483). Quartzite was reported in nearby samples. No other information was given.

The region of the showing is underlain by argillite, greywacke, wacke and/or conglomerate turbidites of the Helikian Aldridge Formation (Purcell Supergroup). Gabbro-diorite sills and dikes of the Proterozoic Moyie Intrusions intrude the sequence.

WORK HISTORY

In 2020, a program of rock and soil sampling was conducted by Kootenay Resources Inc on their Moyie Anticline property utilizing both laboratory and portable XRF analytical techniques (Assessment Report 39483). During the 2020 field program more than 1420 XRF readings were taken and compiled. Several areas with anomalous lead, zinc, copper as well as gold were found during the program. The Moyie Anticline property covered parts of the 082GSW and 082FSE map areas.
