Capsule Geology

The Wicheeda South occurrence is located on an unnamed tributary on the north side of Wichcika Creek.

The area is underlain by limestone, marble, siltstone, argillite and calcareous sedimentary rocks that have been assigned to the upper Cambrian to Lower Ordovician Kechika Group. These have been intruded by carbonatite and syenite intrusions.

Locally, narrow calcite-fluorite veinlets and quartz-carbonate veinlets cut bedded limestone.

Work History

In 2009, a program of rock geochemical sampling and prospecting was completed. Grab sample (WI09-KM02) returned 7064 parts per million cerium, 4461 parts per million lanthanum and 1387 parts per million neodymium, or approximately 1.29 per cent combined (Assessment Report 31477).

In 2011, Bolero Resources Corp. completed a 4156.0 line-kilometre airborne magnetic and radiometric survey on the area as the Carbonatite Syndicate property.
