Capsule Geology

The GO 14 showing area is underlain by sedimentary rocks and minor volcanic rocks from the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group. The zone is located near the southwestern end of the Limpoke pluton. (Texas Creek Plutonic Suite), a two-phase stock with a biotite hornblende quartz monzonite outer phase and medium-grained hornblende monozodiorite inner phase. Leucocratic potassium feldspar megacrystic syenite dikes intrude the eastern and western borders of the pluton and surrounding Stuhini rocks.

The GO 14 showing is a 0.4-metre-wide by 15 metres long shear within an earthy gossanous argillite. In 1991, Dryden Resources collected a channel sample across the shear which assayed 1.51 grams per tonne gold, 4.7 grams per tonne silver, 0.069 per cent copper, 0.094 per cent lead, 0.028 per cent zinc, 0.24 per cent arsenic and 0.01 per cent antimony over 40 centimetres (R14596, Figure 5, Assessment Report 21998). Samples R14592 through R14598 strongly appear to be in the same vicinity, according to field notes (Appendix IV) which indicate similar or same showing characteristics and being 375 metres northwest of Base Station 2 (Map 7, Assessment Report 21998).

See Ridge (104G 208) for details of a common work history.
