Capsule Geology

The Yeti occurrence is located 14 kilometres west of Tenakihi Lakes and approximately 78 kilometres northwest of the community of Germansen Landing.

A small isolated showing (1 by 1 metre) consisting of pyrite, chalcopyrite and malachite occurs on fracture surfaces in an augite porphyry flow of the Upper Triassic Plughat Mountain Formation (Takla Group). The mineralization occurs within a few kilometres to the north of the contact with quartz monzonitic to monzogranitic intrusive rocks of the Early Jurassic Hogem Plutonic Suite. A sample taken at this location assayed 0.098 per cent copper (Open File 1992-11, Sheet 2, Map Number 39).

Mapping in 1991 by British Columbia Geological Survey crews (Fieldwork 1991, Table 1-11-1) resulted in the defining of several new occurrences which resulted in their addition to the Provincial mineral occurrence database (MINFILE). These include 094C 113 (Yak), 114 (Koala), 115 (Intrepid), 116 (Bill), 117 (Yeti) and 118 (Dragon).

See Matetlo (094C 018), located 4 kilometres southeast, for a related work history.
