Capsule Geology

The Benamy project, Lucky Ben claims, is located on Foxy Creek and about 4.5 kilometres north east of the Equity Silver deposit. In 1981, the area was explored by Shell Canada Limited as the Foxy Creek Project and included a regional induced polarization and geochemical surveys. In 1985, Falconbridge Copper completed a series DEEPEM surveys and subsiquent diamond drilling.

Locally, Tertiary volcanic flows of the Buck Creek and Goosly Lake Formations are underlain by my Middle Jurrasic to Upper Cretaceous, Kasalka Group, Goosly Sequence volcanic flows. For more information on geology and mineralization see the Equity Silver deposit (093L 001).

In 1985, 3 diamond drillholes (676 metres) were completed to test a DEEPEM survey anomaly and to establish the depth to the Hazelton Group. The holes were reported to reach the Equity Silver Mine Goosly sequence of rocks but failed to intersect any significant mineralization. The best intersection returned 2.06 grams per tonne silver across 1.2 metres (Property File Rimfire Falconbridge Copper Corp., 1985).
