Capsule Geology

The area is underlain by porphyritic granite and granodiorite of the Jurassic Nelson Batholith, which is in contact to the east with syenite of the Eocene Coryell Intrusives. Remnants of Anarchist and Mt. Roberts volcanics and sediments are present.

A shear zone, trending north 45 degrees east, dipping 65 degrees east, is up to 2 metres and cuts the granite. Quartz stringers within the shear zone contain pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite. A sample returned 29.3 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 13367). Another sample 1 kilometre to the northeast returned 8.68 grams per tonne gold and 29.1 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 13606). A sample taken in 1936 returned 11 grams per tonne gold and 158 grams per tonne silver (Sargent, 1936).

Rex Silver Mines Ltd. conducted sampling and geophysical surveys in the area in 1983, 1985 and 1986.

In 2006, Astral Mining Corporation conducted a helicopter-borne geophysical (electromagnetic) survey on the area as a part of the JJ property.
