Capsule Geology

The Suzanne 2 occurrence is located north of Hill Creek, approximately 1.8 kilometres southeast of Blind Bay on Upper Arrow Lake.

The area is underlain by limestone, slate, siltstone and argillite of the Upper Mississippian to Permian Milford Formation. To the southeast these have been intruded by fine-grained leucocratic intrusions, possible of the Cretaceous Galena Bay stock.

Locally, a fine-grained leucocratic intrusion hosts quartz veining with disseminations and clots of pyrite and galena.

In 2011, a rock sample (55084) assayed 0.651 per cent lead and 37.3 grams per tonne silver, while a chip sample (55082) across the top of the shaft assayed 0.117 per cent lead and 7.8 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 32463). Also at this time, a sample (55081) of quartz vein rubble assayed 1.89 per cent lead and 78.9 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 32463).

Another area of mineralization, located on a road to the southwest, consists of a 0.5 metre wide stratabound pyritic gossanous horizon in schist. In 2011, a rock sample (55080) assayed 0.119 per cent copper (Assessment Report 32463).

A former adit, of unknown age, is reported in the area. In 2006, Island Arc Exploration Company completed a program of rock and soil sampling on the area as the Silver Hill claims. In 2010, Max Investments completed a 696.1 line-kilometre combined airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey. The following year, Noram Ventures completed a program of rock and soil sampling and ground geophysical surveys on the area.
