Capsule Geology

The Baroness showing is located west of the Ingenika River approximately 18 kilometres northwest of Johanson Lake.

The Baroness occurrence area is underlain the Upper Triassic Savage Mountain Formation (Takla Group) consisting of augite porphyry basalt flows, breccia, pillow breccia, tuff and interbedded bladed feldspar porphyry.

In 2014, Pacific Empire Minerals Corp. conducted a brief reconnaissance program on their Copper King claims. They described sample 2086914 as a calc-silicate (diopside-garnet) altered Takla volcanic with trace malachite and chalcocite. This sample graded 0.54 per cent copper, 0.037 gram per tonne gold and 3.04 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 35402).

See Copper King (094D 149) for details of work done in the Baroness vicinity from 1973 to 2018.
