Capsule Geology

The Prospector's Dream occurrence is located on a south eastern ridge of Old Baldy Mountain, between Weaver and Noke creeks.

Hostrocks are Middle Proterozoic Aldridge Formation argillite and quartzite of the Purcell Supergroup, intruded by gabbro sills and dikes of Middle Proterozoic Moyie intrusions.

Showings consist of one or more veins of vuggy white quartz containing a little pyrite (partly oxidized to limonite) and free gold. The quartz is rusty and broken (sheared) in places.

In the shaft area, a quartz vein assayed 9.5 grams per tonne gold over a width of 0.33 metre (grab samples assayed up to 46 grams per tonne gold) (Assessment Report 22052).

In the decline area, a shear zone in Moyie gabbro contains quartz veins of variable thickness up to 1 metre; grab samples assayed up to 73 grams per tonne gold, and chip samples assayed up to 13.5 grams per tonne gold over a width of 1 metre (Assessment Report 22052). Float from other veins discovered on the property assayed from 0.1 to 35.3 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 22052).

The Prospector's Dream is an old showing discovered in 1898 and recently re-examined for its gold potential. It is located in an area of known placer gold production and lode gold showings (e.g. the David, 082FSE108; Weaver, 082FSE116; and the Perry Creek area 10 kilometres to the northwest). In 1983-1986, trenching and minor geochemical sampling was completed by Fenway. In 1989, E. Frost completed more trenching. In 1998, geochemical sampling was completed.

Also in 1998, approximately 1.5 tonnes of material from a stockpile near the main workings area was milled, and returned over 30 grams of gold (Assessment Report 25827).
