Capsule Geology

The Silver Reef South occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 1540 metres on a northeast-facing slope, approximately 3.4 kilometres east of Sicintine Lake.

The area is underlain by black graphitic shales, wackes, grits and minor conglomerates of the Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous Bowser Lake Group that have been intruded by granodioritic rocks of the Late Cretaceous Bulkley Plutonic Suite.

Locally, a 1.3-metre-wide brecciated quartz vein hosting pyrite, arsenopyrite, galena and sphalerite is located near the southeast margin of a subvertical northeast-southwest–trending and dipping 80 to 85 degrees to the northwest granodiorite dike. The northwest margin of the dike also hosts 0.30- to 0.60-metre-wide zone of brecciated and mineralized quartz veining.

In 2020, sampling of the zone yielded up to 1.13 grams per tonne gold, 392 grams per tonne silver, 0.76 per cent lead, 0.33 per cent zinc and 0.77 per cent antimony (Sample 749572; Tuck, A. [2020-09-20]: NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Silver Reef Property, Omineca Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada).

Work History

In 2018 and 2019, Rick Kasum completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping, rock sampling and eight shallow packsack drill holes, each 0.6 to 1.2 metres long, on the area.

In 2020, P2 Gold Inc. completed a program of prospecting, geological mapping, rock sampling and 10 diamond drill holes, totalling 1315 metres, on the area as the Silver Reef property.
