Capsule Geology

The showing is located at an elevation of 152 metres on Gudal Bay. The area was prospected by Mastodon-Highland Bell Mines Limited during August of 1962. The property consisted of 32 claims.

The area is underlain by Vancouver Group mafic volcanic flows and greenstones of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation, which are overlain by massive grey limestones of the Upper Triassic Sadler Formation (Kunga Group). The Sadler Formation is, in turn, overlain by contorted and sheared flaggy black limestone and limy argillites of the Jurassic to Triassic Peril and Sandilands formations (Kunga Group). Tertiary rhyolite and dacite dikes cut the rocks along northwest and northeast trends. The Central Kano diorite pluton, part of the Tertiary Kano Plutonic Suite, lies to the north.

Scattered magnetite, chalcopyrite, malachite and pyrrhotite mineralization occurs along the Karmutsen-Sadler contact and in epidote-garnet skarn.
