Capsule Geology

The Sapo vein is a quartz vein with 10 per cent pyrite, and traces of arsenopyrite, sphalerite, and galena within Stuhini Group augite porphyritic volcanics, 25 metres west of a contact with the Triassic Hickman quartz monzonite. The vein strikes 150 degrees and dips 70 degrees northeast for 22 metres with a true width of 3.95 metres. One chip sample across 1.33 metres assayed of 3.05 grams gold per tonne, 15 grams per tonne silver and 0.18 per cent lead (Assessment Report 21061). It pinches, or is faulted to the south within 20 metres of the exposure.

The Mono veins, found 120 metres northeast of the Sapo Vein, consist of two quartz and muscovite veins with 15 to 20 per cent pyrite and lesser sphalerite and chalcopyrite. The veins average 50 to 100 centimetres in width and are hosted within the Hickman quartz monzonite. The southern vein strikes 110 degrees and dips 90 degrees for 35 metres, and the northern vein strikes 127 degrees and dips 90 degrees for 85 metres.

In 1990, the Sapo and the two Mono veins were found west of the South Scud river on the Glacier 6 claim by Gigi Resources.
