Capsule Geology

The Victor Lake occurrence is located approximately 1.3 kilometres south east of Victor Lake and the Trans-Canada Highway,

The area is underlain by paragneiss metamorphic rocks tentatively assigned to the Precambrian- Paleozoic(?) Monashee Complex and undivided metamorphic rocks of the Proterozoic-Paleozoic Shuswap Assemblage.

Locally, pelitic schists of the Precambrian-Paleozoic(?) Monashee Complex locally contain abundant prismatic sillimanite (around 10 per cent), kyanite and garnet.

In 2010, a rock sample (KP 05-06) of a biotite garnet schist with megacrystic feldspar seams and rosy quartz in wavy laminations, taken approximately 900 metres to the south- south west, assayed 0.06 per cent lanthanum, 0.03 per cent neodymium and greater than 0.1 per cent caesium (Assessment Report 32017).

In 2010, Aspiration Mining completed a program or rock and silt sampling on the area as the REE claims.
