Capsule Geology

Regional maps indicate the Craig showing is underlain by northwest trending metasedimentary rocks of the Cambrian to Devonian Lardeau Group and Upper Mississippian to Permian Milford Formation on the northern margin of the Middle Jurassic Kuskanax batholith. Quartz veins and pyrite are locally abundant within the metasediments.

Minister of Mines Annual Report 1914 describes the showing as two quartz veins hosted in calcareous schist. Pyrite and solid bunches and disseminated galena occur irregularly in the quartz. Samples assayed 6.8 grams per tonne gold, 394.2 to 1038.6 grams per tonne silver and from 2 to 29.6 per cent lead (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1914).

The Hum and Ash group of claims were staked in 1978 and covered the showing area. Soil, silt, rock and heavy mineral sampling and geological mapping was conducted in 1978-80 by Cominco Ltd.
