Capsule Geology

The region in which the Ko showing occurs is within the Inter- montane Belt, underlain dominantly by Lower to Middle Jurassic volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Hazelton Group. These as- semblages are overlain by the Upper Cretaceous to Lower Tertiary Ootsa Lake Group and Miocene plateau basalt. Intruding Lower Jurassic rocks of the Hazelton Group in the northeastern part of the map sheet is a belt of granodiorite, diorite and quartz diorite plutons of the Lower Jurassic Topley intrusive suite. Felsic plutons of probable Cretaceous age intrude both Lower and Middle Jurassic Hazelton strata.

The Ko property is underlain by granodiorite of the Topley intrusive suite. Mineralization consists of minor disseminated chalcopyrite, sphalerite and molybdenite in fractures and quartz stringers cutting the Topley granodiorite.
