Capsule Geology

The Wayside (New Discovery) massive sulphide occurrence is located approximately 750 metres southwest of the Wayside mine (092JNE030), on the northwest side of Carpenter Creek. The area is underlain by Mississippian to Jurassic Bridge River Complex (Group) argillites, cherts and greenstone. The strata trends generally north with near vertical dips, and are bounded on the north and south margins by augite diorite of the Permian Bralorne Igneous Complex. The host rock is vesicular greenstone which exhibits some chloritic alteration and pervasive sericitic alteration.

Drilling has outlined the deposit to be stratiform in nature. On the hanging wall, copper-zinc mineralization is cutoff followed by up to 100 metres of massive pyrite. The footwall is mineralized with pyrrhotite and some chalcopyrite. Pyrite is the dominant mineral in the deposit, followed by pyrrhotite, sphalerite and chalcopyrite with very minor galena.

Potential reserves are 150,000 tonnes grading 1.76 per cent copper, 3.03 per cent zinc and minor precious metals (Assessment Report 14164, page 31).

The property is held by International Wayside Gold Mines Ltd.
