Capsule Geology

The Falcon occurrence is located on the northern slopes of Hidden Peak at approximately 950 metres.

The area is underlain by intermediate volcanic rock, likely andesite, of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation (Vancouver Group).

Locally, a mineralized zone, striking 300 degrees and dipping 40 degrees southwest within altered volcanics, contains disseminated pyrite, chalcopyrite and minor galena and native copper.

In 1984, Torhsen Energy Corp. completed a program of rock sampling and geological mapping on the area as the Falcon claim. A 30 centimetre channel sample of the zone assayed 0.37 per cent copper, 0.156 per cent zinc and 3.1 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 12769).
