Capsule Geology

The West Road area is underlain by mesozonal plutonic rocks assigned to the Late Triassic to Early Jurassic Hogem Intrusive Complex which have been emplaced into volcanic rocks of the Middle Triassic to Lower Jurassic Takla Group, east of the Pinchi fault zone. Intrusive rocks range from diorite to gabbro on the west and quartz monzonite to monzogranite on the east.

Rock exposures along a secondary logging road consist mainly of texturally variable hornblende diorite cut by several pink monzonite dikes. Weak copper mineralization is associated with fracture zones with quartz veins, albite-magnetite and magnetite veins, and biotite stockwork. The best sample assayed 16 parts per billion gold, 0.5 gram per tonne silver and 0.05 per cent copper (Assessment Report 34426).

The West Road mineralization was documented by West Cirque Resources Ltd. in 2013. The company took 2 samples at this location and 22 more in the Heath #1 prospect area as well as to the east in the new Heath East occurrence area (093N 252), both to the south of the West Road occurrence area.

Refer to Heath #1 (093N 072) for related geological and work history details.
