Capsule Geology

The Bernie’s Knoll occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 1260 metres on the northeast side of a small knoll and approximately 1.3 kilometres east-northeast of the east end of Tommy Lake.

The area is underlain by andesites, rhyolites and tuffs of the Lower to Middle Jurassic Entiako Formation (Hazelton Group). Sills and dikes of microdiorite and granodiorite related to the Upper Cretaceous Capoose Batholith intrude the Jurassic rocks.

Locally, a silicified volcanic hosts irregular quartz-carbonate veinlets with azurite-malachite staining.

In 2018, a rock sample (B00249511) assayed 0.36 per cent copper and 70.9 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 38838).

Work History

The area has been explored in conjunction with the Tsacha (MINFILE 093F 055) and Tam (MINFILE 093F 068) occurrence and a complete exploration history can be found there.
