Capsule Geology

Copper and molybdenum sulphides occur as disseminations and fracture fillings in a porphyry intrusion and highly altered metasediments of the Carboniferous to Jurassic Cache Creek Complex.

Work done in 1970 included two diamond-drill holes totalling 350 metres on the Bug 9 claim, four rotary-drill holes totalling 457 metres on the Bug 7,8 and Irish 4 claims, and four percussion-drill holes totalling 238 metres on the Bug 9,10 claims. Work performed in 1971 comprised surface geological mapping, induced polarization survey, diamond drilling in seven holes totalling 1829 metres and percussion drilling in ten holes totalling 305 metres. The owner/operator at the time of work was Rolling Hills Copper Mines Limited.
