Capsule Geology

In 1969, Bethlehem Copper Corporation conducted geological mapping, drill road access and two percussion-drill holes totalling 183 metres on the K 1 and K 3 claims. Utica Mines Ltd. worked on the property in 1964.

Copper minerals occur in veins and shear zones in propylitized intrusive rocks of the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic Guichon Creek batholith. The area is inferred to be underlain by sediments of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group at the western contact of the Guichon Creek batholith. Guichon rocks are inferred to be diorite and quartz monzonite.
