Capsule Geology

Local quartz veining in the Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group vol- canics host occurrences of galena, sphalerite and arsenopyrite. Veins cut dark green silicified volcanics and bedded argillites which strike northwest and dip gently west. Veining generally shows good mineralization comprised of sphalerite, galena, pyrite, arseno- pyrite, pyrrhotite with quartz and minor siderite and calcite gangue. In some place minor occurrences of tetrahedrite are present.

A 10 centimetre channel sample taken from an adit at elevation 940 metres assayed 0.67 grams per tonne gold, 621.93 grams per tonne silver, 9.55 per cent lead, and 9.54 per cent zinc. A 20 centimetre channel sample taken from another adit at 900 metres elevation assayed 0.51 grams per tonne gold, 255.6 grams per tonne silver, 4.41 per cent lead and 1.66 per cent zinc (Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 223).
