Capsule Geology

The Ghostpass occurrence is located on the west side of Ghostpass Creek, at an elevation of approximately 1200 metres.

The area is underlain by Permian to Jurassic Hozameen Complex rocks comprised mainly of interbedded chert, pelite, basic volcanics and minor limestone. These are intruded by a Late Cretaceous or older quartz diorite intrusion. To the northeast of the showing, the Hozameen fault traverses south-southeast and separates the low greenschist facies rocks of the Hozameen Complex from unmetamorphosed Mesozoic rocks. Ultramafic rocks are cut by greenstones of the Hozameen Complex and generally occur along the fault. There is shearing along this contact and in places the ultramafic rocks appear to be intrusive. The ultramafic rocks that occur along the Hozameen fault are part of the Coquihalla Serpentine Belt.

Locally, argillites host mineralized, fine- grained, felsic (felsite) sills, up to a metre wide. Mineralization consists of disseminated pyrite with lesser fine- grained arsenopyrite along fractures.

In 1997, five chip samples yielded from 0.52 to 1.95 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 25260).

Work History

In 1997, a program of rock and soil sampling and geological mapping was completed on the area as the Ghostpass property, GP 1-7 claims.

In 2008 and 2009, the area was prospected as the Master 1 property. In 2012, Savoy Ventures completed a 412.0 line-kilometre airborne electromagnetic survey on the area.
