Capsule Geology

The Conmore (Lot 5677) is part of the Meridian property (082KNW064), on Lexington Mountain. It adjoins the Lucky Jack (082KNW187). The quartz veins contain pyrite, sphalerite and galena. The country rocks are phyllites of the Broadview Formation of the Lower Paleozoic Lardeau Group.

A galena find, was reported in 1899 on the Conmore claim where “a foot of shipping ore” occurs. In 1934, the Conmore was held along with a number of adjacent calims by the Meridian Mining Company Ltd. No work is reported.
