The Lindmark occurrence is located on an un-named mountain peak west of a north-northwest–flowing tributary of Lindmark Creek, east of the Shuswap River and approximately 6 kilometres west of Cranberry Mountain.

Regionally, the area is underlain by interbanded high-grade paragneisses and quartzites of the Proterozoic to Lower Paleozoic Monashee Complex. To the north and east a number of unmapped granitoid stocks are reported.

Locally, the area is underlain by garnet-biotite (±actinolite) paragneiss, biotite orthogneiss quartzite and aplitic granodiorite, which have been intruded by variably abundant crosscutting granitic sills and dikes. The most common dikes are composed of massive light-grey feldspar (90 per cent) with lesser quartz and minor biotite, with less common pegmatite dikes comprising feldspar-quartz-biotite-muscovite with minor red garnet and trace tourmaline, and rare amphibolite (mafic) dikes. Altered (skarn) rocks are also reported in the area.

In 2010, nine silt samples yielded an average of 344 parts per million total rare earth elements and 12.6 parts per million niobium with maximum values of 680 parts per milllion total rare earth elements and 19.0 parts per million niobium (Assessment Report 31972). Also at this time, a rock sample (MMLDR003) of an iridescent-stained mafic dike yielded 0.1369 per cent total rare earth elements and 0.0056 per cent niobium, and a rock sample (MMLDR002) of biotite-rich pegmatite granite yielded 0.1049 per cent total rare earth elements (Assessment Report 31972).

Work History

In 2010, Zimtu Capital Corp. completed a program of prospecting and geochemical (rock and silt) sampling on the area as the Lindmark property.
