Capsule Geology

The GO 6 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.

Two gold-in-soil anomalies, assaying 200 parts per billion, separated by an unsampled area 300 metres long is known as the Northeast Ridge Gold Anomaly. This anomaly is open to the northwest. GO 6 (Gold Occurrence #6) is situated within this anomaly which may extend northwest for 300 metres in the direction of GO 7 (Gold Occurrence #7) (Figure 5, Map 2, Compilation Map #, Assessment Report 21998). GO 6 consists of a quartz vein with arsenopyrite in 2-centimetre selvages hosted in ferruginous greywacke, sandstone and cherty argillites. A sample of the vein collected by Dryden Resources in 1991 assayed 1.68 grams per tonne gold, 2 grams per tonne silver and 0.03 per cent copper (Sample R14692, Assessment Report 21998).

GO 7 (Gold Occurrence #7) is the site of a 25-metre-long shear, up to 70 centimetres wide, hosting massive pyrrhotite. Two arsenopyrite-chalcopyrite bearing quartz veins occur in the shear. All structures disappear under glacial material. In 1991, Dryden collected a chip sample across 75 centimetres which graded 1 gram per tonne gold, 1.6 grams per tonne silver, and 0.027 per cent copper (Assessment Report 21998).

In 2020, drilling yielded intercepts of up to 2.29 grams per tonne gold over 1.52 metres in hole BR-20-05 (Equity Exploration Consultants Ltd. [2021-08-27]: Technical report on the Big Red Property, British Columbia, Canada).
