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.

At the Mile 8 North showing, two small pods of sphalerite- pyrrhotite-pyrite +/- galena mineralization is hosted in marble. Approximately 300 metres to the south is the Mile 8 occurrence (082LNE003).
