Capsule Geology

The Hook showing is hosted in granodiorite of the Early Jurassic Aishihik Plutonic Suite. Panels of dark green amphibole gneiss and chloritic gneiss were noted.

The Hook showing was discovered in 2008. The 10 to 20 centimetre wide quartz vein comprised disseminated and blebby galena and pyrite. Epidote and chlorite alteration were notable along the vein margins and along a strong fracture. The 2008 quartz vein sample (JBTIR003) assayed 62 grams per tonne gold, 34 grams per tonne silver, 0.28 per cent lead and 0.23 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 30365).

2011 soil geochemical data indicates a relatively flat response for most elements, with the exception of gold, and to a minor extent copper and molybdenum. Quartz veining was discovered 400 to 500 metres on strike to the northwest of the Hook; however, none of the 5 samples collected there yielded significant values of gold or base metals.
