Capsule Geology

The Kinaskan property, which contains the QC West East showing, is underlain by Upper Triassic, Stuhini Group volcanics and volcaniclastics intruded by numerous small, quartz deficient stocks of Late Triassic to Early Jurassic age. Sulphides with copper-gold and locally molybdenum grades are generally associated with the intrusives and late quartz stockworks. Jurassic Hazelton Group volcanics and volcaniclastics unconformably overlie the Stuhini volcanics. Felsic dykes and small plugs, sometimes associated with auriferous pyrite-chalcopyrite intrude the Hazelton stratigraphy in the northern portion of the property.

A sample of a gossanous fracture with quartz-carbonate vein in finely bedded siltstone containing disseminated pyrite assayed 0.33 gram per tonne gold, 5.9 grams per tonne silver, 0.052 per cent lead, 0.52 per cent zinc (Sample 867784, Assessment Report 33023).
