Capsule Geology

The White Slide occurrence is located near Puck Creek on the north side of Seton Lake, at an elevation of approximately 930 metres.

The area is underlain by marine sedimentary rocks, volcanic rocks and greenstone to greenschist metamorphic rocks of the Mississippian to Middle Jurassic Bridge River Complex. These have been intruded by bodies of granodiorite to the west.

Locally, massive and disseminated pyrrhotite with pyrite occur as stockworks in a partially silicified and chloritized schist and phyllite. Two chip samples (141002 and 141010) of vein material assayed 7.58 and 4.60 grams per tonne gold and 6.7 and 13.4 grams per tonne silver with 0.119 and 0.110 per cent copper, respectively (Assessment Report 30261).

During 2006 through 2008, American Creek Resources completed a program of geological mapping, rock sampling and prospecting on the area as the White Slide claims. Previously, two tunnels, totalling 1830 metres, were completed by Russell Ventures Mining and Rusdon Gold Mines. These are reported to be collapsed or buried at the portals.
