Capsule Geology

The Copper Road occurrence is underlain by dark green to green andesitic lavas of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation, Vancouver Group. Amygdaloidal areas contain zeolite and epidote, and in one place hematite and chalcopyrite-filled amygdules.

A shear up to 9 metres wide and 1400 metres long contains quartz, calcite, bornite, chalcopyrite, native copper and malachite. The shear strikes 100 degrees and dips 80 degrees north.

Drill indicated reserves in West zone are 83,217 tonnes grading 13.7 grams per tonne silver and 4.1 per cent copper. Drill indicated reserves in the East zone are 68,114 tonnes grading 2.44 per cent copper and 13.7 grams per tonne silver (Statement of Material Facts July 24, 1972 - Univex Mining Corp. Ltd., A.F. Roberts, May 11, 1971).
