Capsule Geology

The Jeanette occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 890 metres on an east-facing slope, west of Kootenay Lake and approximately 1.3 kilometres northwest of Ainsworth.

Regionally, the area is underlain by hornblende schists, limestone and banded quartzite of the Upper Mississippian to Permian Milford Formation and basaltic volcanic rocks of the Carboniferous to Permian Kaslo Group. Granodioritic intrusive rocks of the Middle Jurassic Nelson Batholith are exposed to the west.

Locally, the area is underlain by quartzite, schist and limestone of the Mississippian to Permian Milford Formation.

In 1926, 10 tonnes of ore was shipped and 2995 grams of silver and 5002 kilograms of lead were recovered from the Jeanette property. The ore is assumed to consist primarily of vein galena.

Work History

In 1979, David Minerals Ltd. conducted a program of geochemical (stream and silt) sampling on the area immediately south as the Peanut Butter claims of the Ainsworth property.

In 2012, David Wallach prospected and rock sampled the area as the Ainsworth property.
