Capsule Geology

The New Jackson showing is located on the east side of Stenson Creek at 1646 metres elevation, approximately 3 kilometres south of its confluence with the Kaslo River. Kaslo, British Columbia is 25 kilometres to the southeast. The hostrocks of the New Jackson showing are argillite, phyllite, quartzite, slate and limestone of the Triassic Slocan Group. Bedding has a general northwest strike and moderate to steep southwest dips. Phyllite and slate are the most abundant rock types. Limestone hosting numerous calcite veins outcrop along Stenson Creek. Granite and aplite dikes and sills are common within the Slocan Group and are common at the New Jackson showing. Slocan strata has been locally tightly folded. The New Jackson showing consists of numerous quartz veinlets hosting trace tetrahedrite, galena and 1 to 2 per cent disseminated pyrite. The veinlets have been explored by a old, 4-metre long adit. Trace malachite was observed. The New Jackson showing lies 2 kilometres north of the former Jackson mine (082KSW015). Refer to this occurrence for a more detailed description of the geology and mineralization style of this area.

A 10-centimetre vertical chip sample taken from the west wall 0.5 metre from the face of a 4-metre long old adit yielded 58 grams per tonne silver and 0.005 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 21688). A sample was also taken from the dump at the portal to this old adit. It yielded 8.4 grams per tonne silver and 0.001 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 21688).

During 2005 through 2008, Klondike Silver Corp. completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping, soil sampling, trenching and a ground electromagnetic (VLF) survey were completed on the area.
