Capsule Geology

The Tas (Titan 24) occurrence is located near the top of a ridge separating the southern head waters of Wolfe and Combination creeks.

The area is underlain by the eastern facies of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group consisting of mafic augite and hornblende porphyritic pyroclastics and flows. These have been intruded by dioritic rocks of the Late Triassic to Early Jurassic Copper Mountain Stock.

Locally, as indicated by drilling in 2009, variable propylitic altered volcaniclastic rocks of the Wolfe Creek Formation and diorite of the Copper Mountain Stock host pyrrhotite, pyrite and traces of chalcopyrite and sphalerite.

In 2009, diamond drillhole 2902 intercepted 4.0 metres averaging 1.4 per cent zinc. Other drilling intercepts included 0.139 per cent copper over 0.3 metre from drill hole 2901 (Assessment Report 31363).

In 1972, Phelps Dodge completed a program of geological mapping, soil sampling and ground magnetometer and induced polarization surveys on the area as the Tas and Tat claims. During 1991 through 1994, G.F. Crooker completed programs of silt sampling, geological mapping and ground geophysical surveys on the area as the Tas 1-2 claims. In 1996, Moreleigh Minerals completed a program of geological mapping, soil and rock sampling and ground electromagnetic and magnetic surveys. In 2009 through 2011, Supreme Resources completed programs of geochemical sampling, a 19.5 kilometre induced polarization survey and five diamond drill holes, totalling 2286.6 metres, on the area.
