Capsule Geology

The 18 AB-22-7 occurrence is located approximately 14 kilometres southeast of Ferriston Peak between the Osilinka and Omineca rivers, about 72 kilometres northwest of the community of Germansen Landing.

The showing is underlain by Thane Creek suite diorite in the Early Jurassic to Early Cretaceous Hogem Plutonic Suite in Quesnel terrane. The Thane Creek suite is mostly diorite to quartz monzodiorite, with lesser hornblendite.

Mineralization is observed as chalcopyrite and malachite staining hosted in quartz float. In 2018, a grab sample yielded assay results of 3720 parts per million copper, 119 parts per billion gold, and 9.2 parts per million silver (Fieldwork 2018, page 49).

The showing was mapped by the British Columbia Geological Survey during a regional bedrock mapping program in the Hogem batholith in 2018.
