Capsule Geology

The Road showing is located approximately 1 kilometre west of the north end of Wolf Lake.

The area is underlain primarily by basaltic to andesitic lavas of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation (Vancouver Group). These rocks are mostly massive flows and pillow lavas of partly amygdaloidal basalts, with minor tuffs, volcanic breccias and agglomerates.

Locally, 6 centimetre wide quartz vein contains chalcopyrite and pyrite. In 1986, a grab sample (860918) assayed 21.94 grams per tonne gold, 30.86 grams per tonne silver, and 0.66 per cent copper (Assessment Report 15034).

In 1984, Proquest Resources completed a program of geological mapping and rock, soil and silt sampling on the area as the Lupus claims. In 1986, Homestake Canada and Pan World Ventures completed various programs of geological mapping, rock, silt and soil sampling and an induced polarization survey. In 2005 and 2006 the area was prospected by Pearl Asian Mining Industries as the Wolf Lake.
