Capsule Geology

The CK occurrence is located about 100 kilometres east-southeast of Dease Lake and a few kilometres south of the Kutcho Creek volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit (104I 060).

In the showing area, Upper Permian to Lower Triassic Kutcho assemblage mafic to felsic metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks underlie Upper Triassic Sinwa Formation limestone and Lower Jurassic Inklin Formation sediments and metasediments. The area is interpreted to have been isoclinally folded during formation of the King Salmon allochthon in Early to Middle Jurassic time. The Sinwa Formation has recently been reassigned to the Stuhini Group (Stikine Terrane), and the Inklin Formation to the Laberge Group (Overlap Assemblage). See the Kutcho Creek occurrence (104I 060) for details of the new age date for the Kutcho assemblage.

Within some of the volcanic units, disseminated pyrite, up to 20 per cent by volume with traces of chalcopyrite and sphalerite occur as tabular to lenticular-shaped zones. These zones occur in quartz-eye sericite schist.

This showing was first described and explored in 1977 by Conwest Exploration Company Limited. The company conducted geological mapping and an electromagnetic survey in that year. No further work is documented.
