Capsule Geology

The Wolverine Range occurrence is located within the Wolverine Range, approximately 12 kilometres northeast from the settlement of Manson Creek.

Pegmatites at the showing are coarse grained and consist of quartz, plagioclase, orthoclase, muscovite, biotite and garnet. These pegmatites are dike shaped and are found within garnet- muscovite-biotite granodiorites of the Proterozoic Wolverine Complex. Preliminary U-Pb data from zircon analysis indicate an early Tertiary age for the granodiorites within the complex (Bulletin-in preparation).
