Capsule Geology

The S2-4 occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 1770 metres on a west-facing slope, east of Shedin Creek and approximately 10 kilometres southwest of Cline Peak.

Regionally, the area is underlain by clastic sedimentary rocks of the Middle Jurassic to Upper Cretaceous Bowser Lake Group, which have been intruded by granodiorite of the Upper Cretaceous Bulkley Plutonic Suite. Hornfels and calc-silicate skarn is developed in the contact area of the intrusion.

Locally, an arenite hosts a 50-centimetre-wide oxidized pyritic quartz vein/fault breccia zone. The zone strikes 230 degrees and dips 55 degrees.

In 2014, a grab sample (RX399386) assayed 15.65 grams per tonne gold, 15.0 grams per tonne silver and 0.018 per cent molybdenum (Assessment Report 35139).

Work History

In 2013 and 2014, Vale Exploration Canada Inc. completed a program of geological mapping, geochemical sampling and a 3278.0 line-kilometre airborne magnetic survey on the area as the S2 property. In 2017, an induced polarization and magnetotellurics survey was completed on the property.
