Capsule Geology

The Victoria area is underlain by limestone of the Lower Cambrian Badshot Formation and metasediments of the Cambrian to Devonian Index Formation (Lardeau Group) consisting of schist, phyllite, quartzite, slate and limestone.

Approximately parallel to the Blue Jay replacement-type deposit (82KNW079), and only a few hundred metres southwest is a polymetallic vein developed by a tunnel and some opencuts for a total length of 76 metres. These workings are in the northeast corner of the Victoria Crown grant (Lot 13479) and the southwest corner of the Joker Crown grant (Lot 13478).

This vein, which is conformable to the foliation of the enclosing schist, contains some fragmental, irregular mineralization consisting chiefly of galena, with some pyrite and chalcopyrite, associated with quartz.

The Victoria and Joker were historically part of the Blue Jay group. Please refer to the Blue Jay for details of the property history.
