Capsule Geology

The occurrence area lies within the Precambrian-Paleozoic(?) Shuswap Metamorphic Complex, a belt of high grade metamorphic rocks. Rocks on the property comprise a heterogeneous package of granitoid gneiss, augen gneiss, sillimanite-bearing schist and prominent marble and quartzite layers. See Kingfisher (082LNE007) for a detailed regional geology description.

Mineralization at the Don showing is hosted in quartzite near the contact with marble and comprises sphalerite-pyrrhotite-pyrite +/- galena.
