Capsule Geology

The Abandon showing occurs at the intersection of two major faults and consists of a breccia zone with argillaceous and intermediate to mafic volcanic fragments with a quartz-carbonate-sulphide-graphite matrix. Recent mapping has defined this as part of the Upper Triassic Stuhine Group. Sulphides include galena, sphalerite and arsenopyrite. A grab sample from this showing yielded 1390.2 grams per tonne silver and contained the best silver values found to 1988 (Assessment Report 18803).

Please Refer to Slope Zone (104K 010) for details of the common area geology and work history.
