Capsule Geology

The Skyline occurrence is located just south of the Havilah mine workings (092F 082, 437), approximately 21 kilometres southeast of Port Alberni.

The area is underlain by volcanics of the Devonian Duck Lake Formation, Sicker Group which have been intruded by Early to Middle Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite.

Two parallel quartz veins, 3 to 9 metres apart, lie in a north trending shear within carbonate altered andesite. The veins are 15 to 30 centimetres wide, 40 metres long and dip 70 degrees west. Banded mineralization consists of pyrite, arsenopyrite and galena.

A 30 centimetre sample assayed 52.1 grams per tonne gold and 113.8 grams per tonne silver (Gunnex Limited, 1965). Two drill holes in 1980 resulted in an inferred reserve of 6000 tonnes of 5.8 grams per tonne gold in two zones (Assessment Report 9639).

The showing lies in the Golden Eagle group of claims (see 092F 080) and has been described as the "High Grade vein" of the B and K group (092F 081).
