Capsule Geology

The Mike, also Oakey, is located about one kilometre west of the northwest end of Trout Lake.

A 15 to 30 centimetre band of galena occurs in 0.3 to 4 metre wide quartz vein. The vein is traced for several kilometres through the underlying Lower Paleozoic Lardeau Group phyllites and schists.

In 1973, H.A. McGowan conducted surface exploration and shipped 1.8 tonnes of crude ore, resulting in 778 grams of silver, 195 kilograms of lead and 657 kilograms of zinc. In 1977, Oakey Holdings Ltd. conducted stripping and trenching. In 1978 and 1979, Cominco Ltd. conducted geochemical surveys and geological mapping in the area. See also Craig (082KNW147).
