Capsule Geology

The property is underlain by Paleozoic graphitic schists in contact with limestone, dolomite and limy quartzites of the Eagle Bay Formation.

A 1.5 to 2.0 metre wide, flatly dipping quartz vein striking west-northwest contains argentiferous galena. Disseminated galena is also noted in dolomitic limestone bands near the contact with the schists.

Soil geochemistry identified highly anomalous lead values. A quartz ankerite mariposite alteration zone with economic values of silver (unverified) corresponds to a magnetic low (Assessment Report 11808).
