Capsule Geology

The Hun showing is located 21 kilometres southeast of Vernon, west of Aberdeen Lake.

In this area, metamorphic rocks of the Shuswap Terrane are intruded by the Jurassic Nelson Intrusions. Eocene and Miocene Chilcotin Group volcanic and sedimentary rocks cap the older rocks.

Porphyritic diorite hosts gold mineralization in zones of irregular quartz veins and quartz-filled fractures. A sample of a quartz vein with oxidized pyrite assayed 2 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 11960).

Prospecting was carried out in the mid-1980s.
