NMI
Name WEWA, RAM, BIG SHEEP CREEK Mining Division Greenwood, Trail Creek
BCGS Map 082E030
Status Showing NTS Map 082E08E
Latitude 049º 17' 00'' UTM 11 (NAD 83)
Longitude 118º 00' 03'' Northing 5459435
Easting 427213
Commodities Copper, Fluorite Deposit Types

Capsule Geology

The Wewa showing is located 25 kilometres west of Castlegar at the headwaters of Big Sheep Creek.

The area is underlain by monzonite, diorite, granite and granodiorite of the Middle to Late Jurassic Nelson Intrusions and these have in turn been intruded by feldspar-hornblende-biotite porphyry dykes, feldspar porphyry andesite (?) and biotite porphyry andesite(?) of the Middle Eocene Coryell Intrusions. Silicification is common and the monzonite is propylitically altered.

Mineralization, consisting of chalcopyrite, pyrite, fluorite, magnetite and possibly molybdenite, occurs associated with fault breccia. No other information is available.

This is likely the same occurrence as Wewa (082ESE167).
