Capsule Geology

The Fire Lake Molybdenum showing occurs 2.2 kilometres southwest of Fire Lake, 22.5 kilometres northwest of the north end of Harrison Lake. The Lilabet showing (092GNE028) is 0.8 kilo- metres to the northwest.

Molybdenum mineralization occurs at the north end of a north trending, ellipsoidal, granitic body. The stock is 5 kilometres in length and 3 kilometres in width. The stock intrudes Lower Cretaceous volcanics and sediments of the Fire Lake Group, which are preserved in a roof pendant at the eastern margin of the Jurassic to Tertiary Coast Plutonic Complex.

Mineralization consists of molybdenite in a stockwork of veinlets hosted in garnet bearing granite.
