Capsule Geology

The Vera showing is located within the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic Guichon Creek batholith. Disseminated chalcopyrite and bornite occur in slightly sericite and chlorite-altered alaskite and feldspar porphyry. The showing may now be partially covered by the Highland Valley tailings waste.

In 1967-68, Canex Aerial Exploration Ltd., on behalf of Kel-Glen Mines Ltd., conducted soil geochemical, Ronka EM16 and induced polarization surveys. In 1969, Lornex Mining Corporation Ltd., on behalf of Kel-Glen Mines Ltd., completed six diamond-drill holes totalling 761 metres to test anomalies outlined by induced polarization and electromagnetic surveys. In 1970, Lornex Mining Corporation Ltd., on behalf of Kel-Glen Mines Ltd., conducted an induced polarization survey covering the Vera 21 and 23 claims. This survey was part of the Lornex tailings area programme.
