Capsule Geology

The BDog1 occurrence is situated in the Bulldog Creek valley bottom, 4.8 kilometres upstream (southeast) of Portland Canal and 12 kilometres south of the town of Stewart, B.C.

The 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.

The BDog1 showing consists of 2 angular float samples from the same area, one a very fine-grained black rock composed of Fe rich chlorite, sericite and quartz with 3 to 5 per cent chalcopyrite, 1 to 2 per cent sphalerite and galena and the second composed of 60 to 70 per cent coarse grained pyrite and 5 to 10 per cent chalcopyrite.

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 (Assessment Report 32103).
