Capsule Geology

The Moonlight zone of the Inel property occurs in an area that is primarily underlain by marine sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group. Lower Jurassic andesitic volcanics of the Hazeleton Group overlie the Stuhini rocks and Early Jurassic feldspar porphyritic rock and monzodioritic to gabbroic rock intrude the strata.

In 1984 prospecting along both sides of the upper Snippaker Ridge was conducted. As a result the Inel Ridge Zone (104B 258) was discovered on the west side and the new Moonlight Zone was discovered on the high east side of Snippaker Ridge.

Like the Inel Ridge Zone, the Moonlight Zone comprises quartz-carbonate-sulphide stockwork veins within pyritized fine-grained volcanic sediments. These strata are comprised of volcanic sandstone/siltstone.

Both the Inel Ridge and Moonlight Zones display widespread vein stockworks and sulphide mineralization and both show significant values in gold and silver as well as zinc and copper. Prospecting in 1984, returned values from samples from the Moonlight Zone as high as 0.18 per cent copper, minor lead, 6.56 per cent zinc, 15.09 grams per tonne silver and 13.37 grams per tonne gold (Property File: Grove, 1987).

Refer to the Inel (104B 113) for details of the property mineralization and a common work history.
