Capsule Geology

The Blue Ribbon-Silver Tip showing is located on the south side of the western fork of the Kitsault Glacier, 31.5 kilometres north-northwest of Alice Arm. It was prospected in the early 1920s for polymetallic mineralization.

A 3.7 metre wide, northwest trending quartz vein is located 30 metres above the western fork of the Kitsault Glacier. The vein, hosted in Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group andesite, is mineralized with pyrite, sphalerite and galena. Assays reveal low silver values and trace gold (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1921, page 50).
