Capsule Geology

The Red-Amber occurrence is located on an east-northeast–trending ridge, southeast of the Ingenika River and approximately 3.2 kilometres west-northwest of Fleet Peak.

Regionally, the area is underlain by marine sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Pennsylvanian to Permian Lay Range Assemblage and undivided volcanic rocks of the Upper Triassic Takla Group, which have been intruded by monzodioritic to gabbroic rocks of the Lower Jurassic Melville and Lehto plutons (Mitchell Intrusions).

Locally, a weakly chloritized diorite hosts narrow quartz-carbonate veins, up to 3 centimetres wide, with bornite and azurite. Gossanous shear zones are also reported in the area with one hosting a pod of bornite and azurite in the hangingwall.

Work History

The area has been historically explored in conjunction with the Red (MINFILE 094D 034) occurrence and a complete regional exploration history can be found there.

In 2021, Wedgemount Resources Corp. completed a program of geochemical (rock and soil) sampling and spectral analysis on the area as the regionally extensive Cookie property. Three grab samples (D704009 through D704011), taken from separate sites along an approximately 900 metre strike of the ridge yielded from 0.10 to 2.31 per cent copper, 0.33 to 0.68 gram per tonne gold and 1.5 to 13.3 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 40029).
