Capsule Geology

Very minor native copper is found in pods with quartz, calcite prehnite (?) and laumonite in red vesicular flows of Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group (either top of Telkwa Formation or base of Nilkitkwa Formation).

In 2011, Lowprofile Ventures Ltd engaged Cal Data Ltd (Ward Kirby, PGeo) to provide an in-depth analysis ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection) and Landsat imaging of the property area signatures for buddingtonite or similar ammoniated minerals show a particular concentration near the northern boundary of the property. These types of signatures are known to mark gold deposits in other districts. This survey included the GSC 1971-7 showing.

Refer to the Umbrella showing (nearby to the southwest) for details of a common work history as part of the Lund and Thompson property.
