Capsule Geology

The Boul North occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 1560 metres on the north side of a hill separating Bouleau Creek and Whiteman Creek and approximately 2.5 kilometres southeast of the east end of Bouleau Lake.

Regionally, the area is underlain by volcanics, mudstone, siltstone, shale and fine clastic sedimentary rocks of the Devonian to Triassic Harper Ranch and(?) Nicola groups, which are intruded by Middle Jurassic granitic rocks of the informally named Terrace Creek batholith. Eocene Coryell quartz latite porphyry to syenite plugs and dikes intrude the igneous and sedimentary rocks, and volcanic rocks of the Eocene Penticton and Kamloops groups overlie them.

Locally, quartz veins within a foliated Middle Jurassic granodiorite host gold and silver mineralization. Numerous quartz veins and veinlets, sometimes forming stockworks, carry native gold and/or electrum. The precious metal veins have a very fine grained saccharoidal texture with local colloform chalcedonic banding. The veins are narrow and discontinuous. The occurrence is likely the north extension of the nearby Boul (MINFILE 082LSW069) occurrence.

In 1991, a rock sample (RX-049678) of quartz vein material assayed 10.44 grams per tonne gold and 90.1 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 21877).

During 1988 through 1991, Chevron Mineral Ltd. completed programs soil sampling and geological mapping on the area as the Boul 1-5 claims. In 1999, Discovery Consultants conducted a 0.9 line-kilometre ground magnetic survey on the area as the Wedge 1-4 claims.

During 2014 through 2016, the area was held and explored by Ximen Mining Corp. as the Brett Gold property and a complete summary of exploration work can be found at the Brett (MINFILE 082LSW110) occurrence.
