Capsule Geology

The 1324 Creek occurrence is located on a steep ridge and gully northeast of Consort Creek, approximately 1.2 kilometres north of Stewart Lake.

The area is underlain by pillow basalts, basalt flows and/or breccias and undivided basalt and andesite flows of the Triassic Karmutsen Formation (Vancouver Group).

Locally, sulphide mineralization is related to cross-cutting quartz veins and as sulphide-rich altered volcanic rocks associated with concordant alteration zones. Arsenopyrite and stibnite are also associated with the sulphides.

In 1991, a channel sample (26332) assayed 0.5 per cent copper and 88 grams per tonne silver over a width of 1 metre (Assessment Report 20917).

Work History

In 1991, Arnex Resources completed a program of geological mapping and rock and silt sampling on the area as the Sort claims. In 2008, L.C. Greig completed a program of silt and soil sampling on the area as the BBB claims, Stewart Lake property. In 2012, M. Schuss staked the area and completed a program of prospecting and geochemical (rock and soil) sampling. In 2018, Rich River Exploration Ltd. and Fiorentina Minerals Inc. completed a program of geological mapping and geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling on the area as the Consortium property.
