Capsule Geology

The Ridgeline showing is located along a northwest trending ridge, approximately one kilometre east-southeast of the Cirque property (104K 030), roughly nine kilometres northwest of Trapper Lake.

The Ridgeline showing area is underlain by Early Eocene volcaniclastics of the Sloko Group. Quartz phyric grey felsite and a pinkish syenitic (monzonitic?) intrusion of the Paleocene to Eocene Sloko-Hyder Plutonic Suite intrude the Sloko package.

At the Ridgeline showing, a select grab sample of vuggy, cockscomb quartz vein with carbonate-limonite infill was collected. Up to 1 per cent chalcocite with malachite and azurite was reported. This sample yielded 0.255 per cent copper, 0.19 gram per tonne gold and 4.3 grams per tonne silver (Sample R617770, Assessment Report 38219).

A total of 28 soil samples and 87 rock samples were collected during the 2018 program. Soil samples were collected along two lines from the Chivas Zone and Chivas South, whereas rock samples were collected along soil lines, as well as in the areas of the Outlaw, Talisker and Glenfiddich Zones, along Cirque Creek and at the location of the Oban-Outlaw gold-copper-arsenic soil anomaly. Eight rock samples were collected at the Ridgeline showing.
