Capsule Geology

The 14 Vein area is underlain by marine sedimentary and volcanic rock of the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group. The stratigraphy is intruded by Late Triassic granodiorite, Early Jurassic monzodiorite to gabbro (Texas Creek Plutonic Suite) and Triassic to Jurassic syenite to monzonite (Copper Mountain Plutonic Suite).

The 14 Vein, a quartz vein with pods of coarse pyrite, magnetite and chalcopyrite in chlorite-ribboned quartz, is hosted in diorite (Assessment Report 20844). It trends 110 degrees/35 degrees south dip, pinching and swelling from 40 centimetres to greater than 2 metres in width. A 1.5 metre grab sample across the vein assayed 13.4 grams per tonne gold; the chloritic, magnetitic and pyritic wallrock graded 0.83 gram per tonne gold across 7 metres (Assessment Report 18116).

See the nearby 14 Creek Pyrite showing for details of a common property work history.
