Capsule Geology

The Climax occurrence is situated 2.5 kilometres east-northeast of Hedley.

This Crown-granted claim is underlain by siltstone and limestone of the Upper Triassic Hedley Formation (Nicola Group), and hornblende porphyritic diorite of the Toronto stock (Early Jurassic Hedley Intrusions).

A 0.76-metre thick "seam" of iron oxide occurs 53 metres down a cliff face. A tunnel was driven into the cliff along the seam over a length of 18 metres. Analyses of the seam over the first 12 metres are reported to average 29 grams per tonne gold (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1901, page 1164).
