Capsule Geology

The Easy-Joe prospect is located 1.7 kilometres west-northwest of Skookumchuck and 29.5 kilometres northwest of the north end of Harrison Lake. The Easy Number 1 occurrence (092GNE031) lies approximately 500 metres to the southwest.

A shear zone is developed in dacitic tuff of the fourth (uppermost) member of the Lower Cretaceous Brokenback Hill Formation, Fire Lake Group. Andesitic tuffs contact the zone to the west. The shear zone strikes 140 degrees for at least 200 metres and dips 70 to 75 degrees east, similar to the prevailing foliation and bedding. Widths vary from 3.0 to 3.7 metres.

Mineralization consists of disseminated pyrite and pyrrhotite, and trace galena and sphalerite. A grab sample from a trench assayed 20.4 grams per tonne gold, and a drill hole (#3) cored 0.91 metre grading 3.90 grams per tonne gold between 7.3 and 8.2 metres depth (George Cross News Letter #69, 1990).

Exploration of a parallel structure, lying several hundred metres to the east, produced surface samples assaying up to 13.6 grams per tonne gold and drill hole intersections of up to 5.1 grams per tonne gold over 0.46 metres (Hole #1) (George Cross News Letter #69, 1990).

The zone was first identified during a soil geochemistry survey for gold by Symes Resources Ltd. in 1988. Kali Venture Corporation carried out 405 metres of diamond drilling in 1989.
