Capsule Geology

The Kenelm group of four claims were staked in 1936 and owned by G.E. File and associates of McLure. "The workings are at an elevation of 3600 feet and reached by a steep foot trail leaving the North Thompson road 3 miles north from McLure station, and climbing for 3 miles south-eastward to the property." (Special Report by J.S. Stevenson).

On the property, a coarse-grained syenite is cut by three quartz veins that are mineralized with minor amounts of pyrite, chalcopyrite and galena. The veins have been traced for 122 metres and are up to 1.5 metres wide. They strike from 360 to 335 degrees averaging 45 degree northeast dips. Southwards along strike the veins gradually thin to narrow tight stringers.

The veins have been explored by pits, a 2.4-metre incline and 8.2-metre adit (ca. 1936). The adit intersected a fine grained diorite dike that cuts the quartz vein and syenite.
