Capsule Geology

The Pry Bar and New West zones are located approximately 1.5 kilometres northwest of Lindquist Lake and 49.5 kilometres southeast of the community of Kemano and are part of the Deer Horn property.

Regionally, the area is located in the Intermontane Belt and is underlain by greenstone and greenschist metamorphic rocks of the Upper Paleozoic to Middle Jurrasic Gamsby Complex which have been thrust over sedimentary and volcanic strata of the Lower Cretaceous Skeena Group and calc-alkaline volcanic rocks of the Lower Jurassic Telkwa Formation (Hazelton Group). The volcanic and sedimentary units have been intruded by quartz dioritic rocks of the Middle Jurassic Trapper Plutonic Suite and undivided intrusive rocks of the Eocene Coast Plutonic Complex(?).

In 2012, the Pry Bar zone, an area of obvious historic sampling, and the New West zone were discovered. The zones are located west of the New Vein area and add an additional 360 metres of strike length to the Deer Horn (093E 019) gold-silver-tellurium system, bringing its overall strike length to more than 2400 metres. These zones, including Saddle, New Vein, Pry Bar and New West, occur in immediate hangingwall of the reverse fault that hosts the Deer Horn deposit.

Quartz-polymetallic sulphide veins occur in a foliated diorite and in a quartz-sericite alteration zone at the boundary between the diorite and underlying clastic sedimentary rocks.

In 2012, Deer Horn Metals Inc. discovered the Saddle and New Vein zones while doing helicopter-supported prospecting.

Sampling at the Pry Bar showing assayed 0.76 gram per tonne gold, 197 grams per tonne silver, 99.7 grams per tonne tellurium and 0.119 per cent zinc (Press Release, Deer Horn Metals Inc., January 16, 2013).

Sampling at the New West showing assayed 0.71 gram per tonne gold, 92.7 grams per tonne silver, 149 grams per tonne tellurium, 0.693 per cent lead and 0.367 per cent zinc (Press Release, Deer Horn Metals Inc., January 16, 2013).
