Capsule Geology

In 1972, Union Carbide Exploration Corporation mapped in the Bee 1 to 16 area north of Whirlpool Lake on the east to southeast slope of Taurus Mountain. They followed up in 1973 with 217.6 metres of diamond-drilling in seven holes.

Scheelite was found to occur in pale diopside skarn-altered limestone units of the Horsethief Creek Group, intruded by granitic stocks that are probably related to the Cretaceous Horsethief Creek Batholith.
