Capsule Geology

The Teapot occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 1550 metres on an east-west–trending ridge, northwest of Jack of Clubs Lake and approximately 2 kilometres west of the community of Wells.

The area lies within the Barkerville terrane of the Omineca Belt. The Barkerville terrane is in thrust contact with Triassic Quesnel terrane rocks to the west and Hadrynian to Lower Paleozoic Cariboo terrane rocks to the east. The Barkerville terrane in this region is underlain by the dominantly metasedimentary rocks of the Hadrynian to Lower Paleozoic Snowshoe Group. In this area the Snowshoe Group comprises limestone, phyllite and quartzite. These rocks have been regionally metamorphosed to greenschist facies.

Locally, a ‘BC’-style (MINFILE 093H 139), gold-bearing quartz vein has been identified in outcrop.

In 2019, two outcrop rock samples of vein material are reported to have yielded 11.2 and 10.0 grams per tonne gold, respectively (Beausoleil, C., Pelletier, C. [2020-10-05]: NI 43-101 Technical Report and Mineral Resource Estimate for the Cariboo Gold Project, British Columbia, Canada).

Work History

The area has been explored in conjunction with the nearby Island Mountain (MINFILE 093H 006) and Mosquito Creek Mine (MINFILE 093H 010) occurrences and a complete regional exploration history can be found there.
