Capsule Geology

The showing is located 1 kilometre north east of Saskum Lake, approximately 17 kilometres south of Vavenby.

The area is underlain by granitic rocks of the middle Cretaceous Baldy batholith.

Locally, along a road bed scheelite occurs in a 1 metre wide quartz- carbonate vein, striking 124 degrees and dipping 45 to 50 degrees to the south west occurs an epidote-garnet skarn and altered wall rock.

In the late 1980’s, the area was explored under the DJJR property. In 2007, a program of geochemical sampling was performed on the area under the SAS property.

In the 1980’s, a sample of the vein returned 40 parts per million tungsten and 939 parts per million strontium; with an un-substantiated report, from Placer Developments Ltd., of up to nearly 0.5 per cent tungsten (Property File - Clarke, T. (1989-06-22)).
