Capsule Geology

The Red Rock claim (Lot 1472) lies 1 kilometre southwest of the Phoenix pit (082ESE020), on the east slope of Knob Hill. Early work consists of a shallow shaft. The claim was Crown granted to J.C. Haas and others in 1900.

Little is know of the showing. Mineralization likely consists of pyrite and chalcopyrite disseminations in chert and greenstone of the Upper Paleozoic Knob Hill Group. These rocks are overlain by sharpstone conglomerate and limestone of the Triassic Brooklyn Group.

See Phoenix for additional details on development, geology and mineralization in the area.
