Capsule Geology

The Bulldog Creek occurrence is situated on a ridge top on the northeast side of Bulldog Creek, 4 kilometres southeast of Portland Canal and 10 kilometres south of the town of Stewart, B.C.

The showing area is underlain by diorite and minor quartz diorite and granodiorite of the Eocene Coast Plutonic Complex. These plutonic rocks have intruded and contain local remnants of, Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group volcanic and sedimentary rocks. Occasionally andesite and quartz monzonite dikes intrude the diorite.

A grab sample from a 5 centimetre wide quartz-pyrite vein striking 040 degrees and dipping 70 degrees northwest is hosted in monzonite and assayed 9.98 grams per tonne gold and 50.3 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 32103).

In 2010, a rock and silt sampling program on the Bulldog Creek property was conducted by Nanika Resources and 119 rock and 3 silt samples were collected; rock samples included 14 grab, 11 chip and 94 float samples. Mineralization is associated with quartz veins, quartz cemented breccias, stockwork and skarn. Sulphides include mostly pyrite with much less sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite.
