Capsule Geology

The Dick Creek Junction showing occurs in an area of Devonian to Permian Stikine Assemblage rock overlain by Upper Triassic rock of the Stuhini Group. The stratigraphy is intruded by the Early Jurassic Zippa Mountain Plutonic Complex, which ranges compositionally from leuco-syenite to mafic syenite and pyroxenite, and the Late Triassic Seraphim Mountain Pluton consisting of quartz monzonitic rock.

In 1989, Corona Corporation prospected the ZIP 3, 4, MAC 3, 4 (Inhini property) and collected 4 panned concentrate silt, 9 silt and 68 rock chip samples. In 1990, Link Resources Inc carried out a 700 kilometre airborne magnetic and EM survey over the entire Inhini Property (Assessment Report 20927).

A narrow 2 centimetre wide massive galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite vein cuts rusty andesitic volcanics and pinches out over several metres (Assessment Report 19353). A grab from this vein assayed 10.22 grams per tonne gold, 1132.12 grams per tonne silver, 0.11 per cent copper, 33.2 per cent lead and 6.77 per cent zinc (Maps 3, 4, 5, Assessment Report 19834).
