Capsule Geology

The Hansa occurrence is located on the north fork of Glacier Creek, 7.5 kilometres northeast of Stewart. One shipment of high-grade ore was made in 1948.

The showing consists of a 0.6 metre wide, northeast striking, vertically dipping quartz vein. The vein lies within a fault zone hosted in argillite of the Middle Jurassic Salmon River Formation (Hazelton Group). The vein has been traced for 100 metres and contains sparse sulphides over most of its width. Along one wall, the vein is heavily mineralized with sulphides over a width of between 0.05 and 0.10 metre.

A 4.5 tonne shipment of sorted ore from the vein averaged 5.28 grams per tonne gold, 6883 grams per tonne silver, 10.5 per cent lead and 9.31 per cent zinc (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1948, page 71).

In 2006, Teuton Resources Corp. completed 228.1 line-kilometres of a helicopter-borne AeroTEM II electromagentic and magnetic survey on their Silver Bell property which covers the showing area.

During 2017 through 2020, Singer Resources Inc. and American Creek Resources Ltd. completed programs of geochemical sampling, a 13.5 line-kilometre induced polarization survey and a 438.5 line-kilometres airborne magnetic and LiDAR survey on the area as the Dunwell property.
