The Faith occurrence is located on a north-facing slope, south of Hewer Creek in the Muskwa Ranges just east of the Rocky Mountain Foothills.
Regionally, the area is underlain by Lower to Middle Devonian Stone Formation dolomites conformably overlain by Middle Devonian Dunedin Formation limestone. This package is unconformably overlain by a thrust sheet of Silurian Nonda Formation siliceous dolomite.
Locally, minor disseminated coarse-grained galena occurs in the lower Stone Formation sandy dolomite. The mineralization is exposed in a 3 by 6-metre outcrop surrounded by a large talus slope containing numerous galena, sphalerite, barite and fluorite mineralized dolomite talus-blocks.
Work History
