Capsule Geology

The TR-05 occurrence is located on a steep south facing slope, north of Kitsgegas Peal and approximately 1 kilometre north east of Kitsgegas Lake.

The area is underlain by shale, slate, siltstone and sandstone of the Middle Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous Bowser Lake Group. These are intruded by quartz diorite and/or diorite and/or granodiorite dikes, sills and plugs of the Late Cretaceous Bulkley Plutonic Suite.

Locally, a micro-granodiorite sill-like intrusive hosts quartz +/- ankerite veining approaching 5 per cent of the total volume of the host. The veins typically range from 3 to 30 centimetres in thickness and have limited extent, rarely traceable over a few metres. The veins are typically composed of milky quartz +/- coarse-grained ankerite (to 30 per cent) and contain up to 30 per cent combined blebby, coarse-grained sulphides. In decreasing order of abundance, veins typically contain blebby galena and pyrite with lesser chalcopyrite and sphalerite.

In 2009, a sample (441090) from a quartz vein paralleling the upper contact of the sill assayed 2.85 grams per tonne gold and 55.9 grams per tonne silver (Thomson, G.R. (2009-10-15): Technical Report on the KM Property). Also at this time, a float boulder sample of quartz feldspar porphyry, taken to the south west, assayed 10.28 grams per tonne gold, greater than 300 grams per tonne silver and 2.63 per cent copper (Thomson, G.R. (2009-10-15): Technical Report on the KM Property).

In 2010, chip sampling across 35 centimetres of vein consisting of ankerite, galena, chalcopyrite and bornite assayed greater than 100 grams per tonne silver, greater than 1 per cent lead and greater than 1 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 31755).

See Kisgegas (093M 126) occurrence for details of the KM property work history of which the TR-05 area was part of.
