Capsule Geology

North trending quartz veins on Granville Mountain are thought to be genetically related to the intrusion of Eocene Coryell Plutonic Suite syenites into Carboniferous to Permian Mount Roberts Formation metasediments and metavolcanics, and Middle Jurassic quartz monzonites. Gold-bearing quartz vein systems occur within the quartz monzonite and average 1.2 metres thick. The north trending veins are generally steeply dipping to the east and are subparallel to two major joint orientations.

On the Inland Empire property, a north striking, steeply dipping fissure contains quartz lenses mineralized with galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite and pyrite. Production between 1912 and 1930 yielded 216,663 grams of silver, 29,702 grams of gold and 566 kilograms of copper from 4133 tonnes. See also the Berlin (082ESE084).

Prominent Resources Corporation conducted surveys and sampling in 1985. In 1992, Crown Resources Corp. conducted an airborne geophysical survey in the area.

In 2006, Astral Mining Corporation conducted a helicopter-borne geophysical (electromagnetic) survey on the area as a part of the JJ property.
