Capsule Geology

The Wolfgang showing is located near the center of the Wolfgang Fraction (L.5526) Crown Grant, 1.4 kilometres north of the Indian Mine (104B 031).

Located in the Intermontane Belt, the area, bounded on the west by the Coast Crystalline Complex and on the east by the Bowser Basin, is part of the volcanic arc assemblage of the Stikinia Terrane.

The showing is hosted by the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group, Unuk River Formation metavolcanics. The Hazelton Group is a northwest trending steeply east dipping belt of folded andesitic lapilli tuffs, flows and breccia containing a thick sequence of argillite and siltstone infolded along a synclinal axis. The sequence is intruded by Early Jurassic Texas Creek dacitic porphyry dykes.

Exposed in outcrop on the property, andesitic tuffs host sparsely mineralized veins. The tuff is calcareous, chloritized, sericitized and contains minor disseminated pyrite.

A sample from the outcrop assayed 1.23 grams per tonne gold, 7.20 grams per tonne silver and trace amounts of copper, lead and zinc (Assessment Report 9629).

During 2004 through 2019, the area has been explored as part of the Silver Coin property and a complete property exploration history can be at the nearby Silver Coin (MINFILE 104B 150) occurrence.
