Capsule Geology

The Raft 2 occurrence is located on a northwest facing slope, east of the Raft River and at an elevation of approximately 1000 metres.

The area is underlain by Lower Paleozoic Eagle Bay metasediments consisting of phyllite, chlorite-sericite-quartz schist and black graphitic schist. A northeast trending fault cuts the schist and to the north has been intruded by the granitic Cretaceous Raft Batholith.

Locally, a roadside outcrops host pyrite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite.

In 1986, BP Resources Canada completed a soil sampling program and identified an anomalous area of copper-zinc values. In 1991, Minnova completed a program of geological mapping on the area as the Zoo 1-5 claims.
