Capsule Geology

Skarn mineralization is developed within an Upper Triassic limestone unit and volcanic derived sediments of the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group adjacent to a Juro-Cretaceous hornblende diorite stock. Chalcopyrite, pyrite, pyrrhotite, magnetite and specular hematite are observed in outcrop. A grab sample by Homestake Canada Inc. assayed 1.43 per cent copper and 7.9 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 20149).
