Capsule Geology

The DP-29 occurrence is located on a steep south-southeast–facing slope immediately north of a southwest-flowing tributary of Yedhe Creek and approximately 16.5 kilometres southeast of the junction of Yehde Creek and the Toad River.

The occurrence is in a region known as the Muskwa Anticlinorium, a major north-northwest–trending structure characterized by moderate folding and thrust faulting. The structure consists of Middle Proterozoic (Helikian) rocks of the Muskwa Assemblage, as well as Paleozoic rocks (Geological Survey of Canada Map 1343A; Geological Society of America, Geology of North America, Volume G-2, pages 111, 639). All belong to Ancestral North America (Geological Survey of Canada Map 1713A). Northeast- to northwest-trending Proterozoic diabase dikes are common in the region.

The area is underlain by dolomitic carbonate rocks of the Mesoproterozoic Tuchodi Formation.

Locally, a quartz with lesser carbonate vein host 1 to 3 per cent disseminated to blebby chalcopyrite and malachite coatings. The vein strikes 298 degrees and dips 75 degrees south.

Work History

In 1979 and 1980, Halferdahl & Associates Ltd. completed a regional program of soil sampling on the area as the Tuchodi property.

In 2005, Twenty-Seven Capital Corp. completed a regionally extensive program of geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling and a 9002.0 line-kilometre airborne magnetic survey on the area as the Muskwa property. A rock sample (B374250) from the vein assayed 3.02 per cent copper (Assessment Report 28281).
