Capsule Geology

The Dick Creek showing area is underlain by Devonian to Permian Stikine Assemblage rock overlain by Upper Triassic rock of the Stuhini Group. The stratigraphy is intruded by Triassic to Tertiary stocks of the Coast Plutonic Complex.

In 1989, Corona Corporation prospected the Lisa 1, 2, 5, DD2 and JJ2 claims (of the Inhini property) and collected 31 heavy mineral, 25 silt and 141 rock samples (Assessment Reports 19972). In 1990, Link Resources Inc. carried out a 700-kilometre airborne magnetic and EM survey over the entire Inhini Property (Assessment Report 20972).

Several narrow gold-bearing quartz veins and quartz vein float boulders were located over a wide area approximately 400 to 500 metres long at the headwaters of the west fork of Dick Creek. Rocks in the area are rusty argillites, siltstones and minor interbedded limy sediments. These rocks have been cut by a wide (up to 30 metres) quartz-feldspar porphyry dike.

Numerous occurrences of mineralized float and several narrow 5 to 10 centimetre-wide quartz veins, which can be traced for 3 to 8 metres, were located. The veins, although narrow with no apparent lateral extent, are mineralized with pyrite, galena, chalcopyrite, sphalerite and tetrahedrite. Grab samples from the quartz vein material ran up to 20 per cent lead (Sample 82307), 2845.74 grams per tonne silver (Sample 82353) and 13.30 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 19972).
