Capsule Geology

The Sun God occurrence is located on a southwest facing slope, east of the Lillooet River and across from its junction with Sloquet Creek.

The area is underlain by greenstone and greenschist metamorphic rocks of the Cretaceous to Tertiary Slollicum Schist and marine sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Lower Cretaceous Gambier Group. These have been intruded by granodioritic rocks of the Jurassic to Tertiary Coast Plutonic Complex.

Locally, a highly altered shear zone in quartzo-feldspathic biotite gneiss hosts quartz stringers and disseminated to massive pyrite. The zone has been traced along strike for approximately 45 metres.

In 1984, a sample (84GHR-164) assayed 3.05 grams per tonne gold over 2 metres of massive gneiss, while previous samples are reported to have assayed up to 22.9 grams per tonne gold, 7.5 grams per tonne silver, 0.55 per cent lead and 0.19 per cent zinc (Property File - P.E. Fox [1984-11-08]: Letters Re: Sun God Prospect).

In 1983 and 1984, Sun Gold Resources completed programs of geological mapping, geochemical sampling and airborne geophysical surveys on the area as the Sun God property.
