Capsule Geology

The Easy 5 (Fisher Creek) occurrence is located on Fisher Creek, approximately 850 metres east-northeast of its creek mouth on Quesnel Lake.

Regionally, the area is underlain by augite, augite-olivine basalt and flow breccia with minor greywacke, mudstone and conglomerate. This sequence is underlain by argillites, slates, quartzites and phyllites. All units are part of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group.

Locally, a 30 centimetre wide massive sulphide zone consisting of up to 20 per cent massive pyrite with pods of chalcopyrite occurs in silicified tuffs and basalts. The silicification and related sulphides occur at the intersection of two steeply dipping shears, which strike east-west and north-south. In 1989, two samples (74007 and 74492-1) assayed 0.212 and 0.107 per cent copper with 4.19 and 4.01 grams per tonne gold, respectively (Assessment Report 18989).

A second mineralized zone, located 20 metres downstream, consists of a 55 centimetre wide zone of fractured quartz veins in silicified tuff hosting gold values. In 1989, a sample (74493-4) assayed 0.735 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 18989).

In 1989 and 1990, International Corona Corporation completed programs of rock and soil sampling, geological mapping and a 13.9 line-kilometre combined electromagnetic and magnetic survey on the area as the Likely property.
