Capsule Geology

The STAR 2 showing is located in the McBride River area, approximately 69.7 kilometres southeast of Dease Lake, approximately 1.3 kilometres northwest of the STAR showing (MINFILE 104I 027).

A grab sample of copper oxides from a bleached and silicified flow-banded porphyry and quartz-sulphide-copper veinlets was obtained by the BCGS field team in 2017 (Sample # 17BvS-28-270) (Fieldwork 2017, pp. 39-66).

No previous exploration work has been documented in the immediate area. At the nearby Star showing, local chalcocite and malachite are in north-trending subvertical brittle fault zones that cut gently dipping to subhorizontal strata of the Horn Mountain middle maroon volcanic unit. A historic grab sample returned 4.5 per cent Cu (Mann and Reynolds, 1969).
