Capsule Geology

The JGR showing is located about 63 kilometres east of Vernon, near the headwaters of Silver Bell Creek.

The property contains a 10 metre drift and 4 trenches which have not been reported. In 1985, D.R. Morgan conducted mapping and sampling on the property.

The claims are underlain by northeast dipping argillites and greywackes of the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Nicola Group.

Concordant quartz veins occur within the sediments in 2 areas; a northern and a southern. These contain malachite, azurite and possibly tetrahedrite. The veins are 3 to 9 metres wide and vary from white "bull" quartz to rusty weathering.

The northern area contains a northeast dipping quartz vein, which is 2.5 to 9 metres wide. This vein has been exposed by 4 trenches and samples yielded low values (Assessment Report 14726).

The southern area contains 2 northeast dipping quartz veins which are exposed by opencuts and a 10-metre drift. The highest values came from a sample of copper carbonates and rusty gouge exposed in a small pit. This sample assayed 2080 grams per tonne silver and 3.1 grams per tonne gold (Sample M1, Assessment Report 14726). Other samples yielded substantially lower values.
