Capsule Geology

The Imperial Pacific Groundbirch No. 5-5-84-24 well is located in Section 5, Township 84, Range 24, 56 kilometres west of the town of Fort St. John.

Fluorite, observed in drill core from a depth of 1405.9 to 1410.5 metres, is hosted in Upper Triassic Baldonnel Formation dolomite. Light purple to purple fluorite crystals of varied form, observed in the interstitial vugs of the porous dolomite, were associated with minor bitumen stringers.
