Capsule Geology

The Flan Moly occurrence is located west of Schoen Creek, approximately 6 kilometres south of Schoen Lake.

Regionally, the area is underlain by Upper Paleozoic limestones exposed in low lying areas east of the claims. The limestones are overlain by the informally named Daonella beds, a Middle Triassic unit of black shale and siliceous tuffaceous cherts that is in turn overlain by the Karmutsen basalts, a thick pile of pillowed and massive subaqueous to subaerial lavas. Intrusive rocks include Lower to Upper Triassic diabase sills (emplaced mainly in the Daonella beds) and later, large Jurassic granodiorite plutons.

Locally, quartz veins with disseminated molybdenite are hosted in mica granite. The granite is widely chloritic with local phyllic and argillic alteration.

In 2006, samples of mineralized vein yielded up to 0.048 per cent molybdenum (Assessment Report 28382).

In 2012, a grab sample (1416013) assayed 0.036 per cent molybdenum (Assessment Report 33661).

Work History

During 2000 through 2014, M. Schau, later with Interwest Enterprises Ltd., conducted numerous programs of geochemical (soil, silt and rock) and biogeochemical sampling, ground magnetic and electromagnetic surveys, trenching, geological mapping and prospecting on the area as the Flan-Consolidated property.
