Capsule Geology

The Junction occurrence is located on a west facing ridge, approximately 1.7 kilometres southeast of Camp 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, an intermediate intrusive containing disseminated pyrite, chalcopyrite and bornite occurs in an out crop over a 5 by 4 metre area. Near the centre of the showing chalcopyrite occurs as clots up to 20 millimetres long with course grained feldspar masses. Malachite occurs on fractures. In 2011, the average of 10 chip samples yielded 1.37 grams per tonne silver, 0.264 per cent copper and 0.039 per cent zinc with a maximum of 0.474 per cent copper (Assessment Report 32793).

In 2011 and early 2012, Compliance Energy Corporation completed a program of geochemical sampling and nine diamond drill holes, totalling 644 metres, on the area. One drill hole, totalling 79 metres, was completed on the Junction showing but failed to encounter the zone.
