Capsule Geology

The Good Luck property is situated at the headwaters of McLean Creek, a tributary to Spillimacheen River, about 10 kilometres southwest of Golden. The location of the centre of old Crown grants is inferred from the description given in Minister of Mines Annual Report 1903, page H106 and NTS Map 82N/3E, Edition 1. Underground development by the Labourers' Co-operative Gold, Silver and Copper Mining Co. Ltd. consisted of a total of 519 metres of drifts, crosscuts and shafts.

The geology of the area is inferred from Geological Survey of Canada Open File 481 which indicates Lower Cambrian quartzite, limestone, phyllite and argillite. Quartz veins (inferred) from 0.9 to 4.5 metres wide host up to 45 centimetres of copper ore (chalcopyrite is inferred) with values from $4 to $8 in gold (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1903, page H106).
