Capsule Geology

The Bulliondale occurrence is located on the south west side of the Indian River near its headwaters, approximately 16 kilometres southeast of Squamish.

The area is underlain by a sequence of andesitic volcanics of the Lower Cretaceous Gambier Group, near the south end of the Indian River roof pendant. The pendant is enclosed in Late Jurassic quartz diorite and diorite of the Tertiary to Jurassic Coast Plutonic Complex.

Locally, pyrite and chalcopyrite occur along a silicified limestone contact and in a felsic porphyritic dike. Several similar north west- striking zones of mineralization, up to 9 metres wide, are exposed in a nearby adit.

A chip sample across 0.9 metres of a mineralized zone in the adit assayed trace gold, trace silver and 0.5 per cent copper (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1917, p. 278).

The area has been explored since the early 1900’s including the construction of a short adit. In 2015, NEK Canada Mining Group completed a program of rock sampling and geological mapping on the area.
