Capsule Geology

The O.K. copper showings are located near the summit of Mount Thoen, 44 kilometres east-northeast of Hazelton.

The showings occur in a small "tongue" of granodiorite of the Late Cretaceous Bulkley Intrusions which has intruded sedimentary rocks of the Middle Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous Bowser Lake Group. "Copper pyrites" and "copper-stain" are reported.

A 60-centimetre sample from the "best" showing assayed 377.20 grams per tonne silver, 10.3 grams per tonne gold and 2.1 per cent copper (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1929, page C160).
