Capsule Geology

The Moly Bowl showing is located at the headwaters of a tributary of the East Georgie River, directly south of Mount Brown, about 20 kilometres south of Stewart.

Area geology indicates that the showing is underlain by volcanic and volcaniclastic strata of the Lower to Middle Jurassic Hazelton Group.

In 2006, prospecting in creek drainages discovered float with quartz stringer veins hosting molybdenite within the veins and in the adjacent host rock. Narrow quartz veins discovered in situ are commonly less than 15 centimetres wide and contain spotty molybdenite, pyrrhotite and pyrite. These veins occur within intermediate composition volcaniclastic rocks, strike roughly north, dip moderately to shallowly to the east, and are parallel to and within 100 metres of the contact with a Tertiary granodiorite to granite pluton. Alteration, vein intensity, and mineralization all rapidly diminish away from the intrusive contact. Silt samples from the Moly Bowl area also returned high tungsten and bismuth values, which are common indicator elements of intrusion-related molybdenum and gold mineralization. A select rock sample (336738) of a 5 centimetre wide quartz vein mineralized with patchy molybdenite (3-5 per cent) hosted in a very strong gossan analysed 5160 parts per million molybdenum (Assessment Report 28961).

Granby Gold Inc. conducted geological mapping, airborne magnetometer and gamma ray spectrometry surveys (and geological interpretation of the same) over their East Georgie River project area, including the Moly Bowl showing, from 2013 to 2020.
