Capsule Geology

The 18 LO-15-1B-2 occurrence is located approximately 5 kilometres east of Ferriston Peak, 5 kilometres south of the Osilinka River, and about 75 kilometres northwest of the community of Germansen Landing.

The showing is underlain by Mesilinka suite granite in the Late Triassic to Early Jurassic Hogem batholith in Quesnel terrane. The Mesilinka suite is mostly equigranular granite and porphyritic granite, with lesser tonalite.

Mineralization is observed as locally massive arsenopyrite and pyrite, with minor chalcopyrite and sphalerite, and possibly galena, in 10 centimetre wide sub-horizontal quartz veins. A grab sample yielded assay results of 3.68 grams per tonne Au (Geological Fieldwork 2018 pp. 31-53).

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