Capsule Geology

The Heber 36015-36016 occurrence is located near a saddle on the eastern slopes of Trio Mountain, approximately 11.5 kilometres northeast of the town of Gold River.

The area is underlain by massive, green, porphyritic basalts of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation (Vancouver Group). These have been intruded by a stock of the Early to Middle Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite.

Locally, bornite and chalcopyrite mineralization is hosted by volcanic rocks. Two samples (36015 and 36016) assayed up to 0.25 per cent copper, 0.23 per cent zinc and 3.4 grams per tonne silver (Property File J.C. Stephen, LUC Syndicate (1971-05-17) - Report - Heber River).

In 1970, Silver Standard completed a program of prospecting and rock sampling on the area. In 1984, J. . McDonald prospected the area as the Heb claims. In 1994 and 1995, Orvana Minerals completed programs of geological mapping and geochemical sampling on the area as the Heber claims. In 2011, Universal Ventures Inc. completed a program of geochemical sampling, geological mapping and an airborne geophysical survey on the area as the Tib claims, Tibor property.

In 2018 an interpretive study was conducted on the Trio property by tenure holder K. Galambos. The study included air photo and geophysical interpretation as well as historical research and limited prospecting on the area surrounding Trio Mountain (Assessment Report 38109).
