Capsule Geology

The Eden occurrence is located on the San Juan Ridge, approximately 600 metres east of Walker Lake.

The area is underlain by amphibolite, metasandstone, greywacke and biotite-granet schist of the Jurassic to Cretaceous Leech River Complex.

Locally, the contact between amphibolite and schist units is silicified and several, 75 and 05 trending, steeply dipping quartz veins with pyrite and limonite hosts gold values.

In 1989, Noranda completed a program of geochemical sampling and geological mapping in the area as the Little Heart claim. In 1997, Bea Pre Explorations completed a program of geological mapping and rock sampling on the area as the Eden claim. Three rock chip samples, Eden 1 through 3, assayed 0.797, 1.452 and 4.790 grams per tonne gold over 0.3 to 0.4 metre, respectively (Assessment Report 25245).
