Capsule Geology

The Golden Wish occurrence is located just south of a tongue of the Sutton Glacier, about 26 kilometres south of Stewart.

The showing area is underlain by granodiorite of the Eocene Coast Plutonic Complex. Narrow, short, sheeted and pyritic quartz veins have been observed in granodiorite float. Weak, gossanous zones occur throughout the property with minor disseminated pyrite. In an outcrop of a hornfelsed sediment, a grab sample from a small quartz vein with trace pyrite analysed 0.785 gram per tonne gold and 1.6 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 25327). The sediment is assumed to be part of the Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group.

In 1997, prospecting and sampling of talus and outcrop was completed on behalf of Tenajon Resources Ltd.
