Capsule Geology

The Pacifico 3 occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 220 metres on a south-facing slope, north of Phyl Creek and approximately 850 metres northeast of the east end of Shushartie Lake.

Regionally, the area is underlain by tholeiitic basalt and homogeneous basic sheet flows of the Triassic Karmutsen Formation. Minor amounts of pyroclastic rocks and metasediments have also been reported.

Locally, dark green volcanics with trace pyrite host minor copper and gold values.

In 2018, three grab samples (TR2-43 through TR2-45) take from roadside outcrops yielded an average of 0.125 per cent copper, whereas a nearby collection of grab samples (TR2-41) of similar material, taken over approximately 100 metres, averaged 0.852 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 38141).

Work History

From 2018 to 2020, Silver Grail Resources Ltd. completed programs of prospecting and geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling on the area as the Pacifico 1-3 claims.
