Capsule Geology

The Cameron Lake showing is located north of Stokes Creek, approximately 3.5 kilometres southeast of Lacy Lake.

The area is underlain by basaltic to andesitic volcanic rocks of the Devonian Duck Lake Formation, Sicker Group. Pillowed flow textures are common along with quartz and calcite filled amygdules and plagioclase/hornblende porphyritic textures.

Multiple contorted and crackle-brecciated jasper lenses ranging in thickness up to 3 metres, and exposed over a strike length of about 250 metres occur within the basalts. Magnetite seams 2 to 3 centimetres thick occur within the dark red jasper. The breccia open spaces contain white quartz with minor pyrite.

Work History

In 1985, Reward Resources completed a program of geological mapping and geochemical sampling on the area as the Horne 2-4 claims. A sample assayed 12.64 per cent iron (Assessment Report 14941).

In 1986. Lode Resources explored the area as the Stokes 1-4 claims. A program of rock and soil geochemical sampling, geological mapping and a ground electromagnetic and magnetic geophysical surveys were completed. A sample of quartz veinlets containing pyrite and malachite assayed 0.12 per cent copper (Assessment Report 16138).

In 2009 and 2011, P. Saulnier completed a program of prospecting and soil geochemical sampling on the area as the Horn Lake and Bitterroot properties.

In 2018, Lakewood Exploration Inc. completed a program of geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling on the area as the Lacy property.
