Capsule Geology

A zone of intense pyritization occurs along the west shore of Harrison Lake at Five Mile Bay.

A sequence of andesitic crystal tuffs, lapilli tuffs and breccia containing interbedded rhyolitic breccia and argillaceous sediments are preserved in a roof pendant along the west side of Harrison Lake. The sequence forms part of the Lower Cretaceous Brokenback Hill Formation, Fire Lake Group. These lithologies are locally altered to schist as a result of sericite-clay alteration and silicification.

The showing consists of a northwest trending zone of quartz-sericite schist, developed over a 1300 by 400 metres area, along Five Mile Bay. Disseminations, blebs and veins of pyrite comprise 2 to 10 per cent of the schist. A percussion hole (PDH #6) encountered 1.16 grams per tonne gold between 7.62 metres and 9.14 metres (Assessment Report 13600, Appendix 2).

The Toil showing been explored periodically, since its discovery in 1981, for volcanogenic massive sulphides by Diamond Resources Inc. and LMX Resources Ltd.
