Capsule Geology

The property is underlain by Devonian to Mississippian age Eagle Bay Formation rocks. The rocks consist of greenstones, greenschist and chlorite schists with a northeast strike and a 35 to 45 degree northwest dip.

Mineralization occurs within quartz veins along a highly brecci- ated shear zone striking north to north-northeast and dipping from 60 to 75 degrees east. The shear varies from a few centimetres to several metres wide and is intermittently mineralized, along the footwall, with pyrite, galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite. The mineralized quartz vein measures 15 centimetres to 4 metres wide, 90 metres long and about 60 metres deep. A 3.4 metre wide sample assayed 75.4 grams per tonne silver, 2.42 per cent copper, 2.38 per cent zinc and 1.69 per cent lead.
