Capsule Geology

This occurrence is centred 3.5 kilometres north of Trout Creek and 2.8 kilometres northwest of Camp Creek.

The R.T. showing is hosted in a mass of siliceous granite that intrudes biotite hornblende granodiorite of the Early Jurassic Pennask batholith. The granite likely originates from the Middle Jurassic Osprey Lake batholith, which is located about 500 metres south of the showing.

Trenching and stripping over an area 900 metres (east-west) by up to 300 metres (north-south) intersected erratic mineralization in fractured and altered granite. Minor malachite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite, together with magnetite and/or pyrite, occur as veins and fracture fillings in talc-carbonate altered or biotite-altered granite. This mineralization tends to favour a set of near vertical veins, shears and fractures striking east to northeast.

The occurrence was trenched, stripped and soil sampled by Kathleen Mountain Mines Ltd. in 1967. The area has been explored in conjunction with the Golden Lode (MINFILE 092HNE186) occurrence and a property exploration history can be found there.
