Capsule Geology

The No.36 occurrence is located on the north side of the Cariboo River, approximately 5.5 kilometres north of Likely.

The area is within the Quesnel terrane of the Intermontane Belt near its eastern margin, adjacent to the Precambrian to Paleozoic rocks of the Omineca terrane. The dominant lithologies comprise red-brown weathering phyllite, grey siltstone and interbedded felsic tuffs, which form the lowermost part of the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Nicola Group. Formerly referred to as "black phyllite", this unit has been thrust onto the older rocks of the Omineca terrane, with which it has been deformed and metamorphosed, probably during the Middle to Late Jurassic.

Locally, quartz veins with galena and pyrite are interbedded with shale. A select sample assayed 992 grams per tonne silver (Property File - A.F. Reeve [1967-01-01]: Summer Report on Keweenaw Syndicate General Prospecting Programme, Cariboo District).

Work History

In 1967, a program of regional prospecting and sampling was completed by the Keweenaw Syndicate. In 1981 and 1982, programs of prospecting and airborne geophysical surveys were completed on the area as the Nov 1-3 claims. During 1984 through 1986, Mt. Calvery Resources completed programs of geological mapping, prospecting, trenching and geochemical sampling on the area. In 2019 and 2020, KORE Mining Ltd. completed programs of prospecting and geochemical (rock and soil) sampling on the area as part of the South Cariboo property.
