Capsule Geology

The Radio (Breccia Creek) occurrence is located near the south bank of a creek near the creek’s junction with Seel Creek.

The area is underlain by volcanic rock of the Lower Jurassic Telkwa Formation (Hazelton Group) and sedimentary rock of the Middle Jurassic Smithers Formation (Hazelton Group). A stock of the Late Cretaceoeous Bulkley Plutonic Suite intrudes the strata. The stock consists of a quartz-phyric felsitic phase and a dioritic phase.

Locally, zones of ferricrete and quartz-sericite-pyrite altered sedimentary and intrusive rocks are exposed over several hundred metres of outcrop. In at least one location chalcopyrite cemented breccia was identified which was reported to contain appreciable concentrations of copper and gold. It was reported that a possible unidentified breccia pipe lies close to these exposures.

In 2003, Gold Reach Resources Ltd. completed a program of reconnaissance exploration on the area, including prospecting and stream sediment sampling.
