Capsule Geology

At the Ben-Pond showing, on the east side of Bennett Lake, a trench exposes siliceous felsic rock near a northwest fault contact between schist of the Devonian to Middle Triassic Boundary Ranges Metamorphic Suite and Lower Jurassic Laberge Group argillites.

The siliceous material contains disseminated galena and stibnite and a zone of massive stibnite with 10 per cent arsenopyrite, galena, sphalerite and minor pyrite. The sulphide zone is about 70 centimetres wide and appears to occupy a northwest trending shear zone in fractured rhyolite porphyry. A chip sample across 3.27 metres assayed 0.03 gram per tonne gold, 90.6 grams per tonne silver, 1.47 per cent lead and 1.3 per cent antimony (Assessment Report 12554).

In 2003, Marksmen Resources Ltd. conducted an exploration program on the Golden Eagle project of which their Bennett Lake Block of claims covers the historic Pavey showings. A rock sample of a large boulder (1 by 0.5 metre) of quartz-stibnite in an old trench (reclaimed) east of an outcrop of west dipping graphitic argillite, siliceous argillite and cherty tuffs analyzed greater than 0.99 per cent lead, 5.6 per cent zinc, 0.18 gram per tonne gold, greater than 200 grams per tonne silver and greater than 0.2 per cent antimony (Assessment Report 27474).

Refer to the Skarn prospect (104M 085) for a detailed history of the Pavey property.
