Capsule Geology

The Hot adit occurrence is located on a tributary of Trout Lake Creek at the foot of the south slope of Slollicum Peak.

The area is underlain by marine sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Lower Cretaceous Gambier Group and greenschist metamorphic rocks of the Cretaceous to Tertiary Slollicum Schist. These have been intruded by granodioritic intrusive rocks of the Tertiary Jenner Stock.

Locally, a silicified argillite and chert with quartz veins hosts disseminated to blebby pyrite and pyrrhotite with traces of chalcopyrite. Minor chlorite alteration occurs along the veins. Samples, taken in 1985, assayed only trace gold and silver.

In 1985, the area was prospected and sampled by Kerr Addison Mines as the Hot 2 claim. No information regarding the adits is known but the area has been historically explored in conjunction with the nearby Harrison Gold (MINFILE 092HSW092) to the southwest.
