Capsule Geology

Logan's showing is on the north bank of the Tulameen River, 2.6 kilometres east-northeast of the mouth of Lawless Creek and 3.5 kilometres west of the town of Tulameen.

This showing is hosted in a section of granule conglomerate, rhyolite tuff and black argillite of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group. The sequence is folded into a broad arch plunging 35 degrees into the river.

The 1.5-metre-thick bed of rhyolite tuff contains calcite stringers and stringers and ragged disseminations of sphalerite and minor chalcopyrite along the crest of the fold. No such mineralization is observed in the underlying sheared argillite. The zinc-copper mineralization appears to fade away along the flanks of the fold.

Work History

In 2008, Discovery Ventures Inc. completed a 425 line-kilometre airborne magnetometer and electromagnetic (VLF-EM) survey on the area as the Rabbitt Mine property.
