Capsule Geology

The Newman North showing is located on a point at the west side of Newman Peninsula, 4 kilometres northwest of the Bell mine (093M 001).

The area is underlain by rocks of the Lower Jurassic Telkwa Formation (Hazelton Group) and the Lower Cretaceous Skeena Group. The mineralization is probably genetically related to the Eocene Babine Intrusions.

The showing was discovered and drilled at the same time as the Bell deposit, and although no mineable reserves were developed, one drill hole did encounter grades of between 0.3 and 0.5 per cent copper (Assessment Report 16754). The showing occurs on or near the Newman fault, an important ore control of the deposits in the area.
