Extract from MINFILE No 092F 288:
Name: MOORE, COBALT
Development status: Undeveloped Prospect
Volcanics of the Karmutsen Formation are overlain by limestone of the Quatsino Formation, both of the Upper Triassic Vancouver Group. These rocks are cut by the Quinsam granodiorite of the Early to Middle Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite. The volcanics consist of massive amygdaloidal and pillow basalts. The volcanics are cut by a 73 degree trending altered shear zone.
Magnetite and chalcopyrite occur as fillings in the amydaloidal basalt and as minor blebs, disseminations and fracture fills in the basalt. Malachite occurs in shears and fracture planes. Also report- ed (Assessment Report 7193), (but suspect, in their presence) are cobaltite, niccolite, erythrite and annabergite.
A 5.5 metre chip sample assayed 1 per cent copper (Assessment Report 3445).
