Capsule Geology

The Serenity occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 1700 metres on a steep northeast-facing slope, southeast of Bergeland Creek and approximately 6.8 kilometres southwest of Mount Ney.

The area is underlain by andesitic volcanic rocks of the Cretaceous Kasalka Group and felsic volcanic rocks of the Middle to Upper Jurassic Hazelton Group, which have been intruded by granodioritic rocks of the Eocene Boundary stock.

Locally, northeast-trending and steeply dipping polymetallic veins have been identified.

In 2015, several rock grab samples from the veins yielded up to 2.25 per cent copper and 1.23 per cent zinc (Tetra Tech Canada Inc. [2021-05-03]: Updated Technical Report and Mineral Resource Estimate on the Berg Project, British Columbia).

Work History

The area has been explored in conjunction with the nearby Berg (MINFILE 093E 046) and Tahtsa Range (Saddle) (MINFILE 093E 007) occurrences and a complete exploration history can be found there.

During 2015 through 2017, Equity Exploration completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping and geochemical (rock and soil) sampling on the area as part of the Berg property.
