Capsule Geology

The Red Mountain No.2 occurrence is located between Loch Lomond and Stawamus Lake.

The area is on the eastern edge of the Britannia-Indian River pendant, which hosts the volcanogenic deposits of the Britannia camp (MINFILE 092GNW003). The Britannia-Indian River pendant is mainly a calc-alkaline, sub-aqueous volcanic and sedimentary sequence of felsic to intermediate pyroclastics, flows, cherts, argillites and greywackes. The entire pendant has been classified as part of the Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous Gambier Group. Cenozoic to Mesozoic Coast Plutonic Complex intrusives surround portions of the stratified rocks, creating screens or pendants. These bodies are oriented north westerly throughout the Coast complex. Pliocene to recent Garibaldi Group basaltic dikes and sills intrude both the pendant and plutonic rocks.

Locally, a high-grade chalcopyrite vein is reported.

The area has been historically explored in conjunction with the nearby Britannia (MINFILE 092GNW003) mine. Past exploration workings include a number of open cuts and a short tunnel on the northwest part of the Ash Crown grant. In 1982 and 1983, Stackpool Minerals completed programs of geological mapping, rock, silt and soil sampling and an airborne geophysical survey on the area. During 1984 through 1989, Minnova and Fleck Resources completed programs of geological mapping, rock sampling and electromagnetic surveys on the area as part of the Fleck Option.
