Capsule Geology

The Wog showing is centred 5.75 kilometres west of the summit of Selish Mountain and 8.8 kilometres north-northeast of Kingsvale.

A dioritic to gabbroic stock, possibly of Late Triassic to Early Jurassic age, intrudes andesitic pyroclastics and flows of the Western volcanic facies of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group. The stock underlies much of the south flank of Selish Mountain.

Trenching and diamond drilling has intersected sulphide mineralization in the stock and possibly in the adjacent volcanics, in the vicinity of the stock's northern margin, near its west end. Mineralization consists of disseminations, blebs and discontinuous stringers of chalcopyrite and molybdenite along fractures.

Work History

In 1959, Cominco Ltd. completed a 24.0 line-kilometre ground magnetic survey on the area immediately south of the occurrence as the Salem 1-8 claims.

In 1966, T.C. Exploration Ltd. completed a 67.2 line-kilometre airborne magnetic survey on the area immediately east and south of the occurrence as the Doe, Gay, Kane and Salem claims.

The showing was first explored by Nicanex Mines Ltd. in 1970. The company conducted geological, soil geochemical and induced polarization surveys and 300 metres of percussion drilling in 9 holes. Gold River Mines and Enterprises Ltd. completed 760 metres of trenching and 303 metres of diamond drilling in 2 holes in 1973. Also in 1973, Belcarra Ex. completed a 6.8 line-kilometre ground magnetic survey on the area immediately south of the occurrence as the Loc 1-4 claims.

In 2014, Tech-X Resources Ltd. completed a program of geological mapping and geochemical (rock and soil) sampling on the area as the Selish Mountain property.
