Capsule Geology

The Den property is located within Bethlehem phase and Guichon variety (Highland Valley phase) quartz diorite of the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic Guichon Creek batholith. The intrusive rocks are locally faulted and sheared and contain small aplite and/or quartz porphyry dikes.

Weakly disseminated chalcopyrite and bornite with malachite occurs near northeast joints in quartz diorite.

In 1966, geological, geochemical and geophysical surveys were conducted by Adera Mining Ltd. In 1968, an induced polarization survey was carried out on behalf of Adera Mining Ltd. In 1972-73, geological mapping, geochemical, magnetic and induced polarization surveys, 1402 metres of drill access roads and percussion drilling of nine holes totalling 841 metres were conducted on behalf of Grandora Explorations Ltd. (formerly Adera Mining Ltd.).
