Capsule Geology

The Carp Lake mica occurrence is located on a northeast-facing slope, approximately 3.5 kilometres northeast of the northeast end of Carp Lake.

Regionally, the area is underlain by basaltic volcanic rocks of the Triassic to Jurassic Takla Group, pegmatitic intrusive rocks of the Cretaceous Wolverine Range Plutonic Suite and paragneiss metamorphic rocks of the Upper Cretaceous to Eocene Wolverine Metamorphic Complex.

Locally, muscovite ‘books’, up to 7.6 centimetres square, are hosted within pegmatitic bodies of the Wolverine Range Plutonic Suite.

Work History

In 2020 and 2021, Golden Planet Mining Corp. completed a regionally extensive program of prospecting, geological mapping, geochemical (rock, till and soil) sampling and a 4851.0-line-kilometre airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey on the area as the Rider property.
