Capsule Geology

The King Number 1 showing is located 1.0 kilometre southwest of the peak of Fire Mountain and 21 kilometres northwest of the north- west end of Harrison Lake. The Money Spinner occurrence (092GNE002) is approximately 400 metres to the northwest.

A series of short quartz veins occurs in volcaniclastic sandstone and feldspathic greywacke ("greenstone") of the third member of the Lower Cretaceous Brokenback Hill Formation, Fire Lake Group. The veins are exposed over a total distance of 15 metres and vary from 0.15 to 0.61 metres in width.

A chip sample from fourteen of the veins assayed trace gold (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1934, p. F17).
