Capsule Geology

The Ox-East occurrence is located 8 kilometres east of Kasalka Creek’s mouth with the Nechako Reservoir, 7 kilometres north of Troitsa peak in the Whitesail Range, about 88 kilometres south of the community of Houston. The property is approximately 11 kilometres east-southeast of the Huckleberry mine (093E 037).

The majority of the Ox-East showing area is underlain by Upper Cretaceous to Tertiary Ootsa Lake Group rocks which consist of rhyolite and dacite flows, breccia, and tuff or minor andesite basalt or conglomerate. Intrusive plugs and domes of rhyolitic quartz feldspar porphyry may also be related to the Ootsa Lake Group. In the northwest corner of the property, the Jurassic Hazelton Group is in fault contact with the Ootsa Lake Group. Drilling intersected mainly rhyolitic and dacitic tuffs and in one hole a zone having sphalerite, tetrahedrite and/or galena as disseminations and in small veins was encountered. Kaolinization of feldspars is pervasive and fine grained disseminated pyrite is common to abundant.

Please see Lean-To (093E 105) for further details of the Ox property. The Lean-To occurrence is about 3.4 kilometres east of the Ox-East.
