Capsule Geology

Andesitic flows of the Jurassic Hazelton Group are intruded by quartz-albite dykes and granodiorite tongues. Small quartz veins, associated with the intrusives, contain chalcopyrite, bornite, chalcocite and galena. A selected sample of one 12 centimetre wide vein assayed 1.7 grams per tonne gold, 2359 grams per tonne silver and 34.4 per cent copper and a 30 centimetre sample of another assayed trace gold, 363 grams per tonne silver and 1 per cent copper (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1919).
