Capsule Geology

The Silver 5 showing is located along Selous Creek about 5 kilometres south of Nelson.

The area is underlain by intermediate volcanics and volcaniclastics of the Lower Jurassic Elise Formation (Units Je1 and Je10), Rossland Group (Open File 1989-11). The stratigraphy is intruded by porphyritic granite dykes related to Middle to Late Jurassic granites and granodiorites of the Nelson Intrusions.

The Silver 5 showing consists of schistose limestone containing bands of galena, sphalerite, pyrite and chalcopyrite. The zone is exposed for about 122 metres along strike with an apparent width of about 17 metres. The zone strikes directly north with a variable dip between 85 degrees west to 45 degrees east. This is possibly a replacement deposit.

Assay values are erratic and a sample 16.8 metres wide assayed 124.4 grams per tonne silver, 13.46 per cent lead and 1.3 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 7377).
