Capsule Geology

In the Maxwell Smart area, a Late Triassic diorite to quartz diorite of the Stikine Plutonic Suite intrudes Upper Triassic Stuhini Group volcaniclastics and sediments.

A 1994, geochemical sampling by Teuton Resources was confined to the southwestern quadrant of the Maxwell Smart claim, mostly along the upper course of Cebuck Creek. This work indicated a sequence of argillites intruded by diabase dikes. The diabase is fine grained, black and contains 1 to 2 per cent fine pyrrhotite mineralization along fractures.

Semi-massive to massive pyrrhotite mineralization in float boulders yielded copper values ranging between 0.13 and 0.38 per cent copper (Assessment Report 23975). A 0.2-metre chip sample from outcrop (AW 249) assayed 40 parts per billion gold, 7.6 grams per tonne silver and 0.79 per cent copper (Assessment Report 23974).
