Capsule Geology

The Laddie showing is located approximately 1 kilometre east of Kitwanga, just north of the railroad tracks.

The area is underlain by Middle to Upper Jurassic Bowser Lake Group sediments. The showing consists of a sparsely mineralized shear zone hosted in quartzite. Mineralization, exposed across 0.30 to 0.46 metre, consists of sphalerite, pyrite, minor chalcopyrite and galena. The zone is conformable with the quartzite which strikes 340 degrees and dips 55 to 65 degrees west.

A sample from a 19-metre adit assayed trace gold, 17.14 grams per tonne silver and 48.8 per cent zinc (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1929, page 155).
