Capsule Geology

The Abraham Creek occurrence is located north of the glacier at the head of Abraham Creek, 98 kilometres northwest of the community of Germansen Landing.

A lead-copper showing is shown on Map 1030A (Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 274). No information is available on the occurrence, however, Memoir 274 (page 202) reports that "quartz veins west of Abraham Creek contain crystalline galena, commonly accompanied by chalcopyrite or specular hematite". Hostrocks are hornblende diorite and appinite of the Early Jurassic Hogem Plutonic Suite.
