Capsule Geology

The Webb occurrence is located 16 kilometres north of Aiken Lake, approximately 108 kilometres north-northwest of the community of Germansen Landing.

Regionally, the area is underlain by Permian volcaniclastic rocks and Mississippian to Pennsylvanian fine clastic sedimentary rocks that are cut by narrow northwest-trending band(s) of Mississippian to Pennsylvanian serpentinite ultramafic rocks, all belonging to the Lay Range Assemblage, and undivided sedimentary rocks of the Cretaceous Uslika Formation. To the southwest and northeast, fine clastic sedimentary rocks of the Upper Triassic Takla Group and sedimentary rocks of the Neoproterozoic Ingenika Group are exposed, respectively.

Locally, malachite staining occurs on fracture surfaces in an ankerite-altered fault zone within a massive serpentinite body of the Permian Lay Range assemblage. Abundant mariposite is also observed.

Work History

In 1999, Cross Lake Minerals Ltd. completed a minor silt sampling program on the area immediately south as the Lay property.
