Capsule Geology

The Diablo showing is located approximately 11 kilometres due north of the Cassiar asbestos mine (MINFILE 104P 005).

The area is underlain by Upper Devonian to Lower Mississippian Earn Group sedimentary rocks.

Mineralized quartz veins and stockworks cut black slate, siltstone and porcellanite. The mineralization consists of blebs and disseminated pyrite, tetrahedrite and chalcopyrite. The veins are up to 1.0 metre wide and contain abundant wallrock fragments. Grab samples assayed up to 550 grams per tonne silver, 2.51 per cent copper, 0.38 per cent zinc and 1.77 per cent antimony (Open File 1989-9).
