Capsule Geology

The area of the PL 5-6 showing is underlain by Upper Triassic rocks of the Stuhini group consisting argillite and wacke, augite and feldspar porphyry flows and agglomerate and tuff.

The most significant type of mineralization discovered on the PL-4 to -6 claims are quartz and quartz-carbonate veins and veinlets which strike 135O to 160° and dip moderately to steeply southwest. The veins, which range in width from two to fifty centimeters, contain blebs of pyrite with or without pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and galena. Grab sample 447214, which assayed 189.4 grams per tonne silver and 5.92 per cent lead, was taken from a quartz vein containing narrow bands and blebs of galena and lesser chalcopyrite. The vein, located in the northwest corner of PL-6, can be followed on surface for at least five meters and ranges up to 50 centimeters in width.

Work History

In 1989, consolidated Goldwest Resources Ltd. carried out one day of reconnaissance exploration on the Anuk River East claim group (including claims PL-4, 5 and 6), taking 6 stream silt samples and 24 rock samples. Several narrow quartz-carbonate veins with poddy sulphides were found on the northern part of the PL-6 claim

In 1990, Consolidated Goldwest Resources Ltd. carried out limited geological mapping, prospecting, soil sampling and ground geophysical surveys over the northeastern portion of the Anuk River East property group (including claims Pup 6 and 7; PL-4, 5 and 6).
