Capsule Geology

An unnamed copper occurrence (#221) is located near Six Mile Creek, 9 kilometres east of Hazelton (Geological Survey of Canada Open File 2322).

The area is underlain by clastic sedimentary rocks of the Middle Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous Bowser Lake Group and the Lower Cretaceous Kitsuns Creek Formation, Skeena Group. The units are in fault contact and consist of sandstone, conglomerate, siltstone shale, coal and carbonaceous sediments.

No other information is available on the occurrence.

In 1983, a sample (Y8770) from the area assayed 1.30 grams per tonne gold (Thomson, G.R. (2009-06-09): Technical Report on the American Boy - Mohawk Claim Group).

For a completed regional/property exploration history see the American Boy (MINFILE 093M 047) occurrence.
