Capsule Geology

The Limric occurrence is located north of Richards Creek on a south-southeast–facing slope.

Regionally, the area is underlain by a series of thrust panels of Cambrian to Carboniferous strata. The lowest thrust panel, comprised of a conformable sequence of Lower to Middle Devonian Stone Formation dolomite, Middle Devonian Dunedin Formation micritic limestone and Devonian to Carboniferous Besa River Formation shale, is exposed in the lower reaches of Richards Creek.

Mineralization, hosted in brecciated Dunedin Formation limestone, comprises trace galena with coarse crystalline clear calcite and barite.

Work History

In 1972 and 1973, Cominco Ltd. completed programs of geological mapping, geochemical sampling and at least 16 diamond drill holes, totalling 952.2 metres, on the area as the Ric claims. No assays were reported. In 2008, Douglas Herriott prospected and sampled the area as the Red Cat property. No assays were reported.
