Capsule Geology

The VG placer gold occurrence is located on a small unnamed creek that drains into Attichika Creek, approximately 6 kilometres northeast of Thorne Lake, about 172 kilometres north-northwest of the community of Germansen Landing.

The bedrock consists of Upper Triassic Takla Group volcanics and sediments. The area is bounded to the west by the north trending Moose Valley fault and to the east by an Early Jurassic quartz monzodiorite. For a more detailed regional geology refer to the Inca occurrence (094D 129) which is located 2.4 kilometres south.

Visible gold was found in two pans from an unnamed creek in two locations approximately 200 metres apart. One pan contained an angular gold flake 1.5 millimetres in size. Analysis from pan concentrates assayed 4.6, 19.6 and 26.3 grams per tonne gold (4600, 19600 and 26300 parts per billion) (Assessment Report 19249).
