Capsule Geology

The BR 922 occurrence is located 3.5 kilometres south-southeast of Moosehorn Lake and about 248 kilometres northwest of the community of Germansen Landing.

The BR 922 showing area is underlain by marine sedimentary and andesitic volcanic rock of the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group. Rocks of the Lower-Middle Jurassic Hazelton Group occur to the northeast and southwest of the Stuhini package. Early Jurassic intrusive rocks occur further to the northeast. Devonian-Permian Asitka Group crystalline limestones are the oldest rocks exposed in the region.

In 2004, Stealth Minerals Ltd. collected several samples from one area of their Breccia claims. A sample of a carbonate vein with 15 per cent sphalerite and galena, indicated to be associated in some capacity with a "GD vein" (granodiorite vein?), assayed 73.8 grams per tonne silver, 11.67 grams per tonne gold, 0.15 per cent lead, 0.37 per cent zinc and 0.02 per cent copper (Assessment Report 27635). A nearby sample, also high in precious and base metals, was taken from a 1-metre wide carbonate vein and may be the same carbonate vein.

Refer to Har (094E 053), located 3 kilometres south, for details of the Breccia-Claw area work history.
