Capsule Geology

The NK1 showing is located on upper-middle southwest-facing slopes, north of Zymoetz (Copper) River, approximately 21 kilometres east of Terrace, B.C.

The NK1 showing was discovered by Decade Resources Ltd. in 2018 as part of a prospecting/rock sampling (28 samples) on their Nobody Knows property. The sulphide mineralization encountered on the property includes disseminations of chalcopyrite, chalcocite and pyrite with minor bornite, and is accompanied by secondary malachite and, rarely, azurite. The main potential commodity element is copper with anomalous silver. The mineralization is commonly hosted by greenish-coloured, at least partly fragmental rocks which appear to be associated with poorly exposed but a prominent NW-SE striking fault (Nobody Knows Fault). Both, field evidence and microscope petrography, point to a skarn affinity of local alteration and mineralization (Assessment Report 37786).

The NK1 showing occurs in the central region of the Nobody Knows Fault, where two subcrop samples assayed 3.83 per cent Cu with 3.2 grams per tonne Ag and 1.74 per cent Cu with 6.3 grams per tonne Ag.
