Capsule Geology

The Antler area is underlain rock of the Devonian Stikine Assemblage consisting of lithic tuff, compositionally layered rhyolite, rare phyllite, sericite, and quartz-sericite schist and limestone. These areas altered to the silicified unit present at the showing. The area contains a large rhyolite dome.

A pyrite-rich mineralized showing was discovered here in 1992. A soil geochemical survey by Cominco in 1989 over a part of the area failed to produce any anomalies, however, this was probably due to a total absence of soil. In 2008, in the Antler area, gridding, mapping, magnetometer and IP surveys were completed.

The analytical results of 17 grab samples taken in 2007 from outcrops of pyrite-rich material hosted in a super-siliceous rhyolite breccia yielded very low base metals, anomalous molybdenum and a high of 0.17 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 29475).

Sulphide-rich boulders located 900 metre to the southeast of the showing in Rumble Creek assayed up to 11.9 per cent zinc and 0.57 per cent copper with anomalous arsenic (Assessment Report 29475).

An outcrop sample (926051) of altered basalt located 400 metres west of the Antler showing yielded 0.28 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 30426).

See SG (104G 181) for details of the Antler work history which is part of the Foremore property.
