Capsule Geology

The Toronto showing occurs at the base of prominent bluffs, 700 metres southwest of the confluence of Hedley and McNulty creeks.

A zone of grey "watery" quartz up to 38 centimetres thick, strikes 080 degrees and dips 75 degrees north, within siltstone, limestone and quartzite of the Upper Triassic Stemwinder Mountain Formation (Nicola Group).

The zone is mineralized with bands and streaks of pyrite and small amounts of chalcopyrite and galena. A 28-centimetre chip sample of mineralized quartz, taken adjacent to the footwall, assayed 0.69 gram per tonne gold and 165 grams per tonne silver (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1936, page D13).

This showing was explored by an adit, 3 metres long, in 1936.
