Capsule Geology

The Hawk 8 occurrence is located on the south side of Ashlu Creek, approximately 1 kilometre west- north west of the mouth of Pokosha Creek.

The area is underlain by granodiorite of the Jurassic Cloudburst pluton of the Coast Plutonic Complex (Geological Survey of Canada Paper 90-1F). A major regional northwest trending shear zone of Cretaceous age, the Ashlu Creek shear zone, occurs to the immediate west.

The occurrence consists of a quartz vein that strikes 010 degrees and dips 15 degrees within granodiorite of the Jurassic Cloudburst pluton (Coast Plutonic Complex). A chip sample assayed 4.11 grams per tonne gold over 1 metre (Assessment Report 17889, Map 5).

The area has been explored in conjunction with the nearby Ashlu mine (MINFILE 092GNW013), a complete exploration history can be found there. During 2009 through 2012, Ashlu Mines completed a program of rock, soil and silt sampling on the area.
