Capsule Geology

The Black Prince veins are located on the northeast side of the Rocher Deboule Mountain Range at the headwaters of Mudflat creek, 8 kilometres south of South Hazelton.

Siltstone and argillite of the Middle Jurassic to Upper Cretaceous Bowser Lake Group are intruded by the Late Cretaceous Rocher Deboule stock of the Bulkley Intrusions. Several parallel quartz veins occur in the stock which consists of intensely jointed porphyritic granodiorite.

The Main Fracture Zone strikes 150 degrees and dips 65 degrees southwest and measures 300 metres in length, is up to 2.4 metres wide, and extends over 200 metres in vertical extent. The fracture zone contains quartz veins with various amounts of scheelite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, molybdenite, wolframite, ferberite, and erythrite. A sample from the lower adit over 0.6 metre assayed 0.82 per cent WO3, 0.36 per cent copper, 0.10 per cent molybdenum, and 6.9 grams per tonne silver (Bulletin 43).

A parallel quartz vein, 250 metres east of the main vein, strikes 150 degrees and dips 65 degrees southwest. The vein contains areas of massive chalcopyrite and scheelite and lesser pyrite, bornite, cassiterite and uraninite. A 7.6-centimetre sample assayed 2.37 per cent WO3, 0.8 per cent tin, 1.0 gram per tonne gold, and 0.033 per cent equivalent uranium (Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 223 Rev.).

Assessment Report 7903 mentions an intermediate vein, 150 metres east of the main vein which strikes 160 degrees and dips 70 degrees southwest. A 59-centimetre sample assayed 0.02 per cent WO3, 0.34 per cent molybdenite, 1.15 per cent copper, and 3.4 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 7903).

Work History

In 1915, 19 tonnes reportedly produced 120,338 grams of silver and 619 kilograms of lead.

In 2017, Primary Cobalt Corp. completed a program of prospecting and rock and stream sediment sampling on the area as the RD Cobalt property. In 2018, Primary Energy Metals Inc. completed a program of geological mapping and geochemical (rock, soil and stream sediment) sampling on the area as the Golden Wonder property.

In 2019, Blue Lagoon Resources Inc. completed a program of geochemical (soil and rock) sampling and a ground magnetic survey on the area as the Golden Wonder property.
