Capsule Geology

The Tsitsutl Mountain copper occurrence is plotted as being located at an elevation of approximately 1900 metres on a northwest facing slope of Tsitsutl Mountain.

Regionally, mudstone, siltstone, shale, fine clastic sedimentary rocks, and greenstone to ultramafic rocks of the Lower Permian to Upper Jurassic Cache Creek Complex which have been intruded by Lower Cretaceous granodioritic rocks.

Mineralization consists of small amounts of disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite in Cache Creek Group limestone near the contact with granitic rocks.

Work History

In 1996, Spokane Resources Ltd. prospected and sampled the area as the Tsit 1 claim.
