Capsule Geology

The Victoria prospect is located at the headwaters of the Klehini River east of Inspector Creek. It consists of an adit on a west-facing hillside, with a small prospect pit approximately 10 metres above it. This occurrence is skarn hosted.

Marble and quartzite of probable Devonian to Upper Triassic age strike northeast and dip steeply to the northwest. Irregular, roughly northeast-trending garnet-wollastonite skarn bodies lie near the northwest margin of the marble unit, and contain several dissemi- nated to massive sulphide lenses. Sulphide mineralization consists of coarse sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite. Two samples across 1.8 2.1 metres of mineralized skarn averaged 188.6 grams per tonne silver, 15.4 per cent lead, 23.1 per cent zinc, and trace gold.
