Capsule Geology

The Black Bear-Stewart showing is located on the southwest side of Glacier Creek, 7 kilometres northeast of Stewart. A 3 metre wide quartz breccia vein was investigated in this area in 1924.

The vein, striking 130 degrees and dipping 50 degrees south, is hosted in argillite of the Middle Jurassic Salmon River Formation (Hazelton Group). The quartz matrix is mineralized with pyrite, galena and minor sphalerite. Selected grab samples containing the best galena and sphalerite mineralization assayed up to 2060 grams per tonne silver (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1924, page 61).
