Capsule Geology

The A showing is located within quartz diorite of the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic Guichon Creek batholith. Several northwest and northeast trending faults cross the property. Mineralization observed on the property is mainly disseminated chalcopyrite and pyrite. In oxidized zones, malachite and limonite are evident.

In 1976, four diamond-drill holes totalling 457 metres were drilled on behalf of Bethlehem Copper Corporation.
