Capsule Geology

The Site 26 occurrence is located on Terrin Creek, approximately 1.0 kilometre south of Sand Creek.

The area is underlain by a sequence of volcanic and sedimentary rocks that have been mapped as Early Jurassic Hazelton Group or more recently as Early Jurassic Kitselas volcanics. The Kitselas volcanics are predominantly of felsic composition. These have been intruded by granites, granodiorites and diorites of the Eocene Carpenter Creek pluton.

Locally, a quartz vein system with pyrite and molybdenite mineralization is hosted in greenstones.

In 2010, a rock sample (2940) assayed 0.307 gram per tonne gold, 3.1 grams per tonne silver, 0.174 per cent bismuth, greater than 0.100 per cent tellurium and greater than 0.200 per cent molybdenum (Assessment Report 32186).

In 2002, the Carlson group of mineral claims was staked by G.W. Kurz. During 2003 through 2014, various programs of bedrock prospecting, rock chip sampling, geological mapping, a ground self-potential geophysical survey and geochemical soil and silt sampling were completed.
