SHAWN, CAPTAIN LAKE BARITE prospects covering 97.887 ha. Tenure 559387. Extract from MINFILE No 104P 049:
Near Captain Lake, this property was originally recognized as a copper prospect (GSC Map 1110A, McDame). Recent work (1982) has outlined a 120 metre long zone of bedded barite over 35 metres wide in north-striking, steeply west-dipping Silurian-Devonian Sandpile Group sandstones, dolomite, dolomitic breccias, dolomitic siltstones, limestone and chert. Coarse barite beds up to 1 metre thick are inter- bedded with dolomitic siltstone and dolomite breccias. Minor amounts of chalcopyrite occur in small hematitic zones with malachite.
