Capsule Geology

The region of the Ambition 1 occurrence is underlain by Early Jurassic granodiorite of the Cone Mountain Plutonic Suite which has intruded Upper Triassic volcanics and sediments of the Stuhini Group. A roof pendant of volcanic breccia about 600 metres long and 300 metres wide extends northeast from Dokdaon Creek.

Chalcopyrite, manganese, galenea and sphalerite occur in nearby shears in granodiorite. One sample taken in the vicinity assayed 0.3 gram per tonne gold, 12.5 grams per tonne silver, 0.03 per cent copper, 0.7 per cent lead and 0.4 per cent zinc (Sample 93339, Assessment Report 20714). Another nearby sample assayed 0.16 gram per tonne gold, 50.0 grams per tonne silver and 2.0 per cent copper zinc (Sample 93340, Assessment Report 20714).

The Ambition 1 showing was documented in 1990 by West Sea Development Corp. Refer to Marg East (104G 089) for details of a common work history.
