Capsule Geology

The Congress (Howard) occurrence is located 1.2 kilometres west of the Congress mine (092JNE029), approximately five kilometres northeast of Goldbridge.

The prospect is underlain by metasedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Mississippian to Jurassic Bridge River Complex (Group) into which Tertiary dykes have been intruded.

Underground workings follow a 2- to 7-metre-wide quartz vein at the contact of an altered gabbro and a feldspar porphyry dyke. The vein strikes between 325 degrees and 035 degrees and dips from 75 to 55 degrees west; the vein attitude averages 350 degrees with a 60-degree west dip.

The vein is mainly quartz with disseminated to banded pyrite, arsenopyrite, tetrahedrite and stibnite. Quartz-ankerite alteration surrounds the shear.

Measured, indicated, inferred reserves are 267,505 tonnes grading 11.31 grams per tonne gold. Fifteen per cent of the reserves are classified as measured, based on underground sampling and surface and underground drilling (Mine Development Assessment Process - Congress Project, Stage I Report, September 1988).
