Capsule Geology

The PMA claims are located south of Lower Peach Lake, approximately 22 kilometres northeast of the community of Lac La Hache.

Regionally, the area is underlain by are underlain by andesites, basalts, calcareous tuffs and argillites of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group. Nicola Group rocks are intruded by the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Spout Lake intrusive complex, an alkalic intrusive suite ranging in composition from pyroxenite through monzonite to syenite, and from batholithic in size to small intrusive plugs, dikes and breccia bodies. Granodioritic rocks of the Triassic to Jurassic Takomkane batholith intrude Nicola rocks east of the property. Outliers of alkaline plateau basalts of the Miocene to Pleistocene Chilcotin Group are present in the general area.

Locally, there are fragmental Nicola Group volcanics that have skarn alteration. The alteration products are epidote, K-feldspar and garnets; bornite is the primary copper mineral. Traces of chalcopyrite, bornite and native copper are also noted to occur in the skarn zones.

Work History

During 1993 through 1995, PMA resources completed a program of geological mapping, prospecting, geochemical sampling and geophysical surveys. Samples returned up to 0.113 per cent copper (Assessment Report 23540).

GWR Resources completed programs of prospecting, geochemical sampling, geological mapping and geophysical surveys on the area during the 1990s through 2013. In 2017, a 641 line-kilometre airborne high-resolution gravimetric and magnetic gradient survey was completed on the area.

During 2018 through 2021, EnGold Mines Ltd. completed programs of prospecting, soil sampling, diamond drilling and a geophysical survey on the area as part of the Lac La Hache property.
