Capsule Geology

The FRM 93 showing is between Newton and Badger creeks, 4.15 kilometres southeast of the summit of Lodestone Mountain and 21 kilometres west-southwest of Princeton. The FRM 73(99) copper showing (092HSE128) lies 1.4 kilometres to the west.

A zone of chalcopyrite occurs in hornblende clinopyroxenite of the Early Jurassic Tulameen Ultramafic Complex. The zone trends west-northwest for about 46 metres and is 8 metres wide. Assays of up to 0.5 per cent copper and 0.04 per cent nickel are reported (Assessment Report 2742, page 8).

The showing was trenched and sampled by Fort Reliance Minerals Ltd. in 1970.
