Capsule Geology

The property is located between Rutherford and Torrent creeks about 12 kilometres west southwest of Pemberton in an area of rugged topography of the Pacific Ranges.

The eastern part of the property is underlain by metamorphosed andesite and sedimentary rocks of the Lower Cretaceous Gambier Group; the western part is underlain by quartz diorite of the Jurassic to Cretaceous Coast Plutonic Complex. A southwest striking fault forms the contact between metasedimentary rocks on the east and hydrothermally altered quartz diorite on the west.

Pyrite and chalcopyrite mineralization with associated gold and silver values occur within a pyritic and silicified zone near the quartz diorite-metsedimentary contact. The best chip sample obtained in 1981 from this zone contained 0.27 gram per tonne gold, 10.29 grams per tonne silver and 0.12 per cent copper (Energy, Mines and Resources Canada MP CORPFILE - Bern Resources Ltd., 1981)
