Capsule Geology

The stratigraphy in the area of the Canyon 35 SB showing is intruded by a Triassic quartz dioritic intrusion and a Triassic ultramaifc intrusion of the Polaris Ultramafic suite. The country rock is greenstone and sedimentary rock of the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group.

The SB zone is a quartz vein hosted antimony, arsenic plus/minus gold showing located in the northeast corner of the Canyon 35 claim. The quartz vein trends 323 degrees dipping 65 degrees northeast and is located at a parallel trending contact between a fine-grained footwall mafic dyke and an iron carbonate altered granodiorite. The vein is composed of milky white to clear quartz containing numerous vugs and cavities filled with stibnite. A program of hand trenching was moderately successful in extending the known strike of the vein to the southeast. The vein was approximate length of 11 metres and maximum of width of 1.6 metres and is still open to the southeast.

A grab sample from the trenched vein exposure assayed 0.39 gram per tonne gold and greater than 0.2 per cent antimony (Sample 31758, Assessment Report 20156).
