Capsule Geology

The Norman occurrence is located approximately 8 kilometres south-southwest of Mount Carruthers. The Norman occurrence area is underlain by Pennsylvanian to Jurassic greenstone and greenschist metamorphic rock of the Cache Creek assemblage. A Mid-Cretaceous stock of the Axelgold Intrusions consisting of layered gabbro and minor plugs of gabbro and diabase (gabbroic and dioritic intrusive rocks) intrude the Cache Creek package.

The occurrence is hosted in andesites. The area is complex due to the amount of faulting and numerous thrust faults occur to the east. Most of the major faults trend northwest and smaller crosscutting faults trend north to northeast. Mineralization consists of chalcopyrite within the andesites. Two other chalcopyrite showings are hosted in the andesites with one approximately 1 kilometre to the east and the other 1 kilometre to west.

The showing is indicated on Canadian Superior Exploration Ltd., circa 1973 (Property File).
