Capsule Geology

A molybdenum occurrence (#248) is shown on Geological Survey of Canada Open File 2322 as being located in the Sicintine Range, 82 kilometres north-northeast of Hazelton.

The showing is documented as a porphyry-type occurrence hosted in Late Cretaceous Bulkley Intrusions which are mainly granodiorite in composition. The Bulkley Intrusions intrude clastic sedimentary rocks of the Middle Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous Bowser Lake Group. These comprise mainly sandstone, siltstone, shale, conglomerate, argillite with minor coal and carbonaceous units.

No other information is available on the occurrence.
