Development status: Prospect
The Ellen property is located 42 kilometres east of Hazelton, on the northwest portion of Netalzul Mountain.
The property is underlain by hornfelsed Middle Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous Bowser Lake Group siltstones, sandstones and greywackes intruded by granodiorite of the Late Cretaceous Bulkley Intrusions which have hornfelsed the Bowser Lake rocks near the contacts. Aplite dikes cut all rock types.
Numerous veins, sheeted veins and stockworks containing quartz, pyrite, tetrahedrite, chalcopyrite and galena cut the granitic rocks. Quartz veins carrying galena and arsenopyrite are common in the metasedimentary rocks. The veins are generally lenticular and discontinuous. Argillic and propylitic alteration is evident in granitic rocks adjacent to some of the veins. Sericite and chlorite are developed after biotite and hornblende and iron carbonate is commonly associated with some veins.
A 1-metre wide quartz vein cutting granodiorite strikes 025 degrees and dips 70 degrees southeast. This vein assayed 1.0 gram per tonne gold and 340.5 grams per tonne silver across 81 centimetres (Assessment Report 15186). Grab samples assay up to 2614.7 grams per tonne silver and 3.150 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 15186). Quartz veins carrying pyrite and molybdenite are common throughout the intrusive.
The Daisy molybdenum occurrence is located on the northwest portion of Netalzul Mountain, 43 kilometres east of Hazelton.
The mineralization is hosted in the contact area of a granodioritic to quartz monzonitic plug of the Late Cretaceous Bulkley Intrusions. The plug intrudes dacitic volcanic rocks of the Upper Cretaceous Suskwa volcanics, an informal subdivision of the Kasalka Group, and clastic sediments of the Middle Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous Bowser Lake Group.
