Capsule Geology

The Anita 11 showing is approximately 280 metres northeast of Stringer Lake and 1.9 kilometres west-northwest of the summit of Missezula Mountain.

This region along Summers Creek is underlain by the Eastern volcanic facies of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group, comprising mafic to intermediate, augite and hornblende porphyritic pyroclastics and flows, and associated alkaline intrusions. The intrusions vary in composition from diorite to monzonite and are thought to be comagmatic with the Nicola Group, ranging in age from Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic. Much of the copper mineralization and associated alteration frequenting this portion of the Nicola Belt can be attributed to the emplacement of such intrusions.

Locally, pyrite and chalcopyrite occur in dark to black-coloured gossanous tuff and lithic tuff of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group (Central Belt, Bulletin 69). This copper mineralization outcrops over an area 120 metres long and up to 80 metres wide.

Work History

The occurrence area was mapped and prospected by Bronson Mines Ltd. in 1973 and 1974 as the Anita claims. Also at this time, Blue Gulch Explorations Ltd. and Pacific Resources Development Ltd. completed programs of geological mapping and soil sampling on the area immediately west of the occurrence as the Pine, Dy and Reg claims.

During 1985 through 1987, Laramide Resources Ltd. completed programs of geological mapping and geochemical (soil and rock) sampling on the area as the Sadim 1-6 claims.

In 2009, Orofino Minerals Inc. completed a 922.0 line-kilometre airborne magnetic and gamma-ray spectrometer survey on the area as part of the Allison Lake property. The following year, Orofino Minerals Inc. completed a program of prospecting, geological mapping, geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling and 57.0 line-kilometres of ground magnetic and induced polarization surveys on the Allison Lake property.

During 2012 through 2015, Colorado Resources Ltd. completed programs of geological mapping, geochemical (rock and soil) sampling and a 6.0 line-kilometre induced polarization survey on the area as the Hit-Aspen Grove property. In 2017 and 2018, Colorado Resources Ltd. completed further programs of rock sampling and a historical induced polarization processing and inversion on the area as the Hit property.

In 2019 and 2021, Independence Gold Corp. explored the area as the Anita property.
