Capsule Geology

The Alice claim (Lot 1073) is located north of McGillivray Creek on the east of the Fraser River, at an elevation of 664 metres.

The area is underlain by diorite and quartz diorite of the Triassic Mount Lytton Complex and by volcanics and volcaniclastics of the Middle and Upper Cretaceous Spences Bridge Group. Quartz-feldspar porphyry dykes intrude all rock types.

Locally, tennantite, with what appears to be secondary chalcocite veinlets, occurs as ribbon-like, 1 to 2 centimetre bands and discontinuous blebs concordant with host siliceous dolomite breccia. Dolomitic beds and siliceous limestone occur in basaltic to rhyolitic flows and flow breccias. In general, the tennantite occurs within 30 centimetres of the dolomite-volcanic rock contact. Volcanic sequences strike 130 degrees and dip 50 degrees northeast. Tight drag folds and faults occur in the carbonates.

In 2011, rock samples from the adit assayed up to 4.70 per cent copper, 31.5 grams per tonne silver, 0.441 per cent zinc and 0.238 per cent antimony (sample MG-02R; Assessment Report 32728).

Approximately 200 to 300 metres to the east, a highly altered, siliceous rhyolite to dacite hosts abundant disseminated pyrite over an area of 200 by 500 metres.

Work History

The area has been explored by two historic adits, of unknown age.

During 2006 through 2014, Atocha Resources completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping, geochemical sampling and minor trenching on the area as the McGillivray property.

In 2019, a program of rock sampling and a ground magnetometer survey were completed on the area.

In 2020, Prisma Capital Inc. completed a minor program of rock and soil sampling on the area as the McGill property.
