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 reddish brown monzonitic granite.

About 1800 metres to the west are contacts between felsic dykes and intrusives which are mineralized with pyrite, pyrrho- tite and chalcopyrite.

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