Capsule Geology

The Gold Master occurrence is located on a small knoll approximately 800 metres northeast of the northeastern end of Jacobie Lake.

Regionally, the area is located within the central Quesnel Trough. The area is underlain by Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic sedimentary and mafic to felsic volcanic. This sequence has been intruded by small alkalic stocks of diorite to syenite compositions. This sedimentary and volcanic assemblage is correlative with the Nicola Group.

Locally, amygdaloidal and porphyritic basalt flows and flow breccias host malachite and lesser native copper mineralization. In 1984, two rock samples assayed 0.378 and 0.680 per cent copper (Assessment Report 13430).

In 1984, Asamera Minerals completed a program of rock, silt and soil sampling, geological mapping and ground geophysical surveys on the area as the Gold Master claim. In 1991, Pamicon Developments completed a program of geochemical sampling and geological mapping on the area as the Bud and JC claims.
