Capsule Geology

The property is underlain by Cambrian aged basalt, tuffite, and minor limestone that is probably equivalent to the Eagle Bay Formation. The sequence strikes southwesterly, dips to the north- west at low to moderate angles and forms the southeast limb of a syncline.

Mineralization consists of two quartz filled veins, 13 metres apart, in green chloritic schist. The south vein, 35 metres in length and 20 to 30 centimetres wide, strikes 065 and dips near vertical. The north vein, 12 metres in length and 10 centimetres wide, strikes 085 and dips 85 degrees south.

The veins are mineralized with galena and sphalerite with minor pyrite, chalcopyrite and "tin" minerals.

Mineralization also occurs as replacement of limestone and marble bands.
