Capsule Geology

The Glacier showing is located on the south side of the Tchitin River, just west of the Yankee Boy showing (103P 144), about 19.0 kilometres northeast of Alice Arm.

The region is underlain by Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group volcanics and sediments situated on the east limb of the north-northwest trending Mount McGuire anticline. These rocks have been regionally metamorphosed to greenschist facies.

The showing consists of a slightly pyritic quartz vein hosted in chloritic schist. In the hangingwall, a 0.10 to 0.30 metre wide zone contains high grade lead-zinc-silver ore (galena?, sphalerite?), typical of other occurrences in this region. A grab sample assayed 5964.7 grams per tonne silver (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1916, page 74).

In 2005, Kitsault Resources Ltd. completed a reconnaissance stream sediment survey on the area as the Kitsault Gold property.
