Magnetite, Copper, Iron prospects.
In the Hesquiat Lake area, northwest striking limestones and volcanics previously assigned to the Quatsino and Karmutsen Formations (Geological Survey of Canada Map 53-17) have more recently been included with the Pennsylvanian to Permian Sicker Group (Geological Survey of Canada Map 1537A). These rocks are intruded by felsic granitic rocks of the Early to Middle Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite (Muchalat Batholith). A dioritic to gabbroic border phase is 500 metres wide.
The Agnes showing, located on the westernmost south fork of Satchie River, consists of several lenses of massive magnetite and mixed magnetite-skarn in altered limestone. The skarn is 24.0 metres wide and consists of garnet, epidote and quartz. It follows roughly the limestone-greenstone contact. Outcrops of diorite to the east, west and below the skarn limit its lateral potential.
The largest magnetite lens is 6.0 metres wide. Malachite staining is occasionally present. A grab sample assayed 39.88 per cent iron and 0.39 per cent copper. About 150 metres to the north- east, massive to scattered lenses of magnetite are exposed in an area 15 by 15 metres. A sample from this mineralization, over a true width of 5.5 metres, assayed 23.35 per cent iron, 0.08 per cent copper, 0.02 per cent sulphur and 0.03 per cent phosphorus. Minor chalcopyrite and bornite are present. A representative sample assayed 25.15 per cent iron and 0.28 per cent copper (Assessment Report 464).
A sample taken over a true width of 1.8 metres of massive magnetite assayed 41.08 per cent iron, 1.18 per cent copper, 1.35 per cent sulphur and 0.02 per cent phosphorus. A sample taken along strike returned 26.65 per cent iron, 0.45 per cent copper, 0.40 per cent sulphur and 0.06 per cent phosphorus (All assays from Assessment Reports 462, 464).
