Capsule Geology

The SR 110 showing is located between Sulphurets Glacier and Ted Morris Glacier in an area underlain in general by Upper Triassic Stuhinu Group marine sedimentary and volcanic rocks, commonly in this area phyllites derived from pelites and tuffs.

In 2016, prospecting and rock sampling was carried out in the on behalf of Eskay Mining Corp east of Ted Morris glacier. A cluster of 12 samples yielded several moderately to strongly anomalous barium values, up to 0.3 per cent barium (Sample SR-ESK-2016-108) (Assessment Report 36739). Sample SR-ESK-2016-108 was chip taken over 5 metres from gossanous silicified felsic volcanics with 2 to 3 per cent disseminated sulphides.

Massive pyrrhotite veins striking about 330 degrees dipping 28 degrees or striking about 352 degrees and dipping 32 extend over 10 to 15 metres in outcrop. Veins are 2 to 7 centimetres wide. Massive pyrrhotite vein 20 centimetres wide was reported as subcrop. Abundant gossan is present. A composite sample of several veins was taken (sample SR-ESK-2016-110) and graded 8.2 grams per tonne silver, 0.193 per cent copper and 42.4 per cent iron (Assessment Report 36739).

See Sib (Lulu) (104B 376) and Cumberland (104B 011) for further details of work done on the Sib and Corey properties. Also see Mike Peak (104B 279), 5 kilometres to the north-northwest of the SR-110 occurrence.
