Capsule Geology

The North Sadim occurrence is located at approximately 1500 metres elevation on a west-facing slope, west of Summers Creek and approximately 750 metres east-northeast of the east end of Mystery Lake.

The 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.

Locally, a limestone hosts disseminated and fracture-controlled malachite.

In 2010, a grab sample (55161) assayed 0.648 per cent copper, 8 grams per tonne silver and 0.079 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 31916).

Work History

The area has been explored in conjunction with the nearby Sadim (MINFILE 092HNE095) occurrence and a completed exploration history can be found there.
