Capsule Geology

The Silver Bell occurrence is located at the headwaters of Glacier Creek adjacent to the extensive Cambria Icefield to the east, about 8 kilometres northeast of Stewart.

The showing lies in the northern portion of a broad north-northwest trending belt of predominantly sedimentary rocks of the Middle-Upper Jurassic Hazelton Group. The exposed rocks include thin to moderately bedded siltstone, silty mudstone, argillite, locally tuffaceous and calcareous mudstones, and greywacke. These rocks are in contact with andesitic volcanic rocks of the Lower Jurassic Unuk River Formation (Hazelton Group) in the southern part of the showing area. To the north is quartz monzonite and granodiorite of the Eocene Bitter Creek intrusion.

A 0.2 metre chip sample (KK04-129) of ankerite/dolomite containing abundant sphalerite, pyrite and goethite analysed greater than 10,000 parts per million lead, greater than 10,000 parts per million zinc, greater than 2000 parts per million antimony, 156 grams per tonne silver, 0.34 gram per tonne gold and 0.09 per cent copper (Assessment Report 28018).

In 2004, Teuton Resources Corp. collected 21 samples (3 float, 9 chip, 2 select and 7 grab) for analyses.
