Capsule Geology

The NORMA occurrence is located on the north side of Lindsey Creek, south of Carpenter Lake, approximately 3 kilometres east-northeast of the community of Gold Bridge.

The area is underlain by marine sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Mississippian to Jurassic Bridge River Complex.

Locally, quartz-calcite-pyrite veins, 1 to 10 centimetres in width, parallel schistosity in altered and sheared andesite-basalt volcanics. Quartz-carbonate alteration is extensive in the cherts and argillites. To the southwest, rocks of the Bridge River Complex are sheared and silicified with abundant hematite staining.

An old, pre-1937 adit is located near the centre of the Norma claim in the area of intense alteration. It is reported to have been driven along a strike fault or a vein paralleling the formational strike, which is north-south. Just south of the claim block, another adit is reported to have been driven eastward around the same time. In 1980, Solitaire Resources prospected the area as the Buck II claim. In 1985, Levon Resources completed a program of soil sampling, geological mapping and ground electromagnetic and magnetic surveys on the area as the Big Apple 1 claim. In 1986, Brahma Resources completed a program of geological mapping and soil sampling on the area as the Norma claim. In 1987 and 1988, Levon Resources flew airborne VLF-EM and magnetic surveys over the Norma area, as part of a regional survey.

In 2003 and 2005, E. Skoda completed programs of soil sampling and ground electromagnetic and magnetic surveys on the area as the Bridge claim. In 2012 and 2019, the area was prospected and sampled with no anomalous results.

In 2019 and 2020, Wild West Gold Corp. conducted programs of rock and MMI soil sampling and a ground magnetometer survey over the Norma adit area (Assessment Report 39330).
