Capsule Geology

The Wokas occurrence is located on a south facing ridge, approximately 2 kilometres west of Wokas Lake. The area has been explored in conjunction with the Camp Lake (MINFILE 092F 571) occurrence.

The area is underlain by basaltic volcanic rocks consisting of basaltic lava, pillow lava, breccia and tuff of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation. These have been intruded by granodiorite, quartz diorite, granite and quartz monzonite of the Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite to the east.

Locally, a quartz-epidote-sulphide hydrothermal breccia is hosted by intermediate intrusives and mafic volcanics and is exposed over 15 metres in a logging road cut. In 2011, a select grab sample assayed 1.73 per cent copper and 8.59 grams per tonne silver (Samples 665030-665037; Assessment Report 32793).

In 2011 and early 2012, Compliance Energy Corporation completed a program of geochemical sampling, geological mapping and prospecting on the area as part of the Camp Lake (MINFILE 092F 571) property.
