Capsule Geology

The Dawn 1 occurrence is described as being located near the centre of the Dawn 1 claim on Blue Mountain, approximately 2 kilometres south of Alouette Lake,

The area is underlain by dioritic intrusive rock, comprised of coarse-grained pyroxene and feldspar, within the Jurassic to Tertiary Coast Plutonic Complex. Medium-grained Late Jurassic quartz diorite and granodiorite outcrop nearby.

Locally, a former adit exposes a quartz vein hosting pyrite mineralization. Sampling of the adit is reported to have yielded up to 9.36 grams per tonne gold over 0.75 metre, while a nearby float sample assayed 218.4 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 24551).

In 1996, the area was prospected as the Dawn 1-3 claims.
