Capsule Geology

The Wild Goose North occurrence is located on the north side of a large south facing cirque to the north of Copeland Creek. The showing is exposed at an elevation of approximately 1900 metres.

The area is within the Monashee Metamorphic Complex which is regionally metamorphosed to amphibolite grade, and on the south eastern side of the Frenchmap Cap gneiss dome. Underlying rocks include dominantly granite orthogneiss and minor paragneiss of the core of the dome.

Locally, a manganese-rich oxidized shear zone hosts minor quartz veins with narrow 2.5 to 5.0 centimetre wide galena-pyrite veinlets. The shear zone trends 350 degrees and is hosted by biotite gneiss. In 2001, a rock sample (R-08) assayed 0.115 gram per tonne gold, greater than 100 grams per tonne silver, greater than 1.0 per cent lead and 0.931 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 26829).

The area was originally explored in the late 1890’s as the Goose Chase claims. In 1989, mineralization was discovered by Frances Jenkins, Ruby Cameron and Bill Cameron and the area was staked and prospected as the Wild Goose claims. In 2001, New Blue Ribbon Resources completed a program of rock sampling and geological mapping. In 2012, International Millennium Mining completed a program of soil and stream sampling on the area.
