Capsule Geology

The AAA 48 occurrence is located south of the Strandby River, approximately 6.9 kilometres northwest of the community of Holberg.

The area is underlain by Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation (Vancouver Group) volcanics that have undergone regional zeolite facies metamorphism. The volcanics trend northwest and consist mainly of massive, green to purple, amygdaloidal basalt.

Locally, small fracture systems in the volcanics are in-filled with quartz hosting minor disseminated bornite and malachite.

Work History

In 1973, Cities Services Minerals Corp. completed an induced polarization survey on the area as the Pup claims. In 1990, Consolidated T.C. Resources Ltd. completed a program of soil sampling on the area as the Stran claims. In 2018 and 2019, MK2 Ventures Ltd. and District Metals Corp. completed programs of prospecting, geological and structural mapping, geochemical (rock, soil and stream sediment) sampling and an 804 line-kilometre airborne geophysical (VTEM) survey on the area as the Bakar property.
