Capsule Geology

The Tide (Camp) occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 1140 metres on an east- north east facing slope and approximately 1.3 kilometres west of the Bowser River.

The area is underlain by andesitic rocks of the Lower Jurassic Unuk River Formation which are unconformably overlain by Lower Middle and Middle Jurassic rocks of the Betty Creek, Mount Dilworth and Salmon River Formations, respectively, all of the Hazelton Group. The Texas Creek Plutonic Suite comprises a group of Early Jurassic granodioritic stocks, dikes, sills, and a batholith in the area.

The Camp zone consists of a narrow zone of intensely fractured volcanic and sedimentary rocks which trends east-west related to the mineralized zone. During the 2006 program 16 continuous channel samples were taken across the Camp zone, an ankerite-rich shear zone. The Camp zone is approximately 75 metres wide and is open to the east and west.

The same styles of mineralization are present at the 36 (104B 399), Camp, Northpit (104B 252), Riptide (104B 252) and Hoito (104B 252) zones and are thought to represent complexly dismembered mineralized bodies by a series of later block faults. The Camp is reported to have similar but weaker mineralization as the 36 zone where the predominant sulfides are pyrite and arsenopyrite.

In 2001, a sample (51091) from a shear zone with a 15-centimetre wide vein yielded 1.15 grams per tonne gold and 20.0 grams per tonne silver over 0.88 metre (Heffernan, R.S. (2006-11-15): Summary Report on the Tide Project).

In 2006, the average grade over the entire sampled section was 0.24 gram per tonne gold, with the best section grading 0.425 gram per tonne gold over 12.0 metres and containing 3 metres of 1.36 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 28869).

Refer to Tide (104B 129) for further details of work history and related property mineralization.
