Capsule Geology

The area is underlain by Mid-Cretaceous Baldy Batholith rocks, consisting of biotite granite, pegmatite, monzonitic granite and aplitic granite dykes.

Molybdenite occurs as disseminations and blebs in aplite granite dykes in contact with monzonitic granite.

In 1967, geological and geochemistry surveys by Royal Canadian Ventures Ltd. found anomalous molybdenum soil signatures on the H claim.

Sampling in 1968 found molybdenum bearing granodiorite/quartz monzonite with 0.02 percent molybdenum grade across 4.6 metres width.

In 1970, Supertest Investments and Petroleum Ltd. conducted a 586 soil sample geochemical survey of H claims. Higher than background values were observed in the western and southwestern portions of the property with an average value of 8 parts per million molybdenum and a highest value of 44 parts per million molybdenum (Thomson, G. (2007-09-25): Compliance Report on the Luxor Property).

In 1971, Supertest Investments and Petroleum Ltd. conducted geological mapping over the H, SFr, and Val claims.
