Capsule Geology

Abundant pyrite mineralization is associated with a wide, sheared and silicified zone. A pyrite sample returned 0.17 grams per tonne of gold.

Gold bearing disseminated pyrite occurs in silicified gossans occurring along the contacts of felsic volcanics and felsic intrusives or felsic dikes. Lamprophyre dikes also cut this package.
