Development StatusRaw Prospect. The claims cover a mineralized system hosted by the Dutch Creek Formation
of the Proterozoic Purcell Supergroup. The Black Diamond structure
is exposed over a vertical distance of approximately 2500 feet on
the north side of Toby Creek. The structure shows evidence of multiphase
silica emplacement suggesting the presence of a large pre-existing
structure which became the locus for later mineralization.
The claims also cover the historic Charlemont mineral occurrence,
located on the north side of Toby Creek approximately 2 kilometers
from the main Black Diamond showing area. Mineralization on the Charlemont
has been exposed in a series of shallow trenches, pits and three
small adits and consists of steeply dipping quartz carbonate veins
with galena, sphalerite and tetrahedrite. Sample RW95C-04, a composite
of vein material from one of the adits, returned values of 3.19 gm/t
Au, 2286.1 gm/t Ag, 2.42% Cu and 44% Pb.
