Capsule Geology

Andesites of the Jurassic Hazelton Group are intruded by diorite and quartz-albite dykes and cut by several faults. A quartz vein, striking 050 degrees and dipping 40 degrees north, contains blebs and streaks of chalcocite, bornite, and chalcopyrite. The vein is about 30 metres long and averages 1 metre wide. A 79 centimetre sample assayed 0.7 grams per tonne gold, 74 grams per tonne silver and 1.32 per cent copper (Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 212).

About 800 metres to the east, the andesite on the west side of a quartz-albite dyke is sparsely mineralized with chalcocite and chal- copyrite over a 30 metre width. A 2 metre sample assayed 0.34 grams per tonne gold, 75.4 grams per tonne silver and 1.6 per cent copper (Property File: J. Willman, 1929).

Two test samples, totalling 70.8 kilograms produced 0.5 grams gold, 7.1 grams silver, 2.3 kilograms copper and 0.14 kilograms antimony (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1940).
