Capsule Geology

The COMPLETER (L.7309) showing is located on Lot 7309, approximately 5 kilometres south of Fauquier.

The area is underlain by monzonite of a Middle Jurassic unnamed intrusion. The showing consists of several quartz veins sparsely mineralized with pyrite, marcasite, galena and possibly sphalerite.

The COMPLETER was Crown granted in 1908 to P. Kelleher. A 1984 assessment report makes reference to a 134 metre adit and two 4.5 metre deep shafts which date from 1907-1914. There are no records of the work done during this period.

In 1980-81, J.C. Snell carried out a property examination and soil sampling for Northern Deep Level Mines Ltd. He notes the presence of an old adit, and of 6 substantial quartz veins exposed by recent stripping. The soil survey indicated anomalous lead, arsenic and silver geochemistry. In 1984, Golden Porphyrite Ltd. carried out a program of prospecting, heavy sediment geochemistry, and channel sampling of exposed quartz veins. A 90-centimetre channel sample across a quartz vein assayed 28 grams per tonne silver, 0.375 per cent lead and 0.268 per cent zinc. The sample contained 4 per cent combined pyrite and galena (Assessment Report 12408). The prospecting and stream geochemistry programs failed to find extensions of known quartz veins.
