Capsule Geology

The Golden 2 showing is 1.6 kilometres east of Summers Creek, 8.35 kilometres due north of the confluence of Swanson and Rampart creeks.

The area along Summers Creek is underlain by the Eastern volcanic facies of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group, comprising mafic, augite and hornblende porphyritic pyroclastics and flows, and associated alkaline intrusions.

Locally, chalcopyrite and malachite occur together with quartz, calcite and epidote in an outcrop of tuff breccia and lahar deposits of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group (Eastern Belt, Bulletin 69).

Work History

In 1972, Vargas Mines completed a 29.5 line-kilometre ground magnetic survey on the area as the EJ claims. The following year, Calcio Silver Mines Ltd. completed a program of geological mapping and geochemical (rock and soil) sampling on the claims.

In 1981, Lornex Mining Corp. Ltd. completed a program of geological mapping, soil sampling and a ground magnetic survey on the area as the Golden claim.

In 1991, Fairfield Minerals Ltd. completed a soil sampling program on the area immediately north of the occurrence as the Zu claims.

In 2009, Orofino Minerals Inc. completed a 922.0 line-kilometre airborne magnetic and gamma-ray spectrometer survey on the area as part of the Allison Lake property. The following year, Orofino Minerals Inc. completed a program of prospecting, geological mapping, geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling and 57.0 line-kilometres of ground magnetic and induced polarization surveys on the Allison Lake property.

During 2012 through 2015, Colorado Resources Ltd. completed programs of geological mapping, geochemical (rock and soil) sampling and a 6.0 line-kilometre induced polarization survey on the area as the Hit-Aspen Grove property.

In 2019, Richard Billingsley completed a program of prospecting, soil sampling and biogeochemical sampling on the area as the Sadim property.
