Capsule Geology

The Gold Valley 6 showing is located about 17 kilometres northeast of Stewart.

The area is underlain by volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Lower Jurassic Unuk River Formation (Hazelton Group) comprising andesitic pyroclastics, siltstone, argillite and wacke.

A mineralized shear zone, subvertical and trending northwest, occurs on the Gold Valley 6 and 7 claims. The shear zone is hosted in a sequence of siltstone, argillites and wackes which are partly altered to talc schist. Galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite and pyrite occur in a gangue of quartz, carbonate and barite. The shear zone is associated with abundant subhorizontal extensional quartz-sulphide veinlets.

Eight samples were taken from this zone, one sample (45703B) from a seam of pyrite assayed 1.48 grams per tonne gold, 28.2 grams per tonne silver, 0.05 per cent copper, 0.13 per cent lead and 0.08 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 21966). Samples from the quartz veins assayed higher in base metals.

There is no record of previous work on this property. Bond Gold prospected the property and discovered this showing in 1991.
