Extracts from MINFILE No.: 092F 517, 092F 518, and 092F 519.
Development status: Prospect
Name: LUCKY LEAD
The Lucky Lead occurrence is underlain by amygdaloidal basalt of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation (Vancouver Group) near a narrow, elongate diorite intrusive which outcrops along the coast.
A short adit is developed in basalt along a sulphide-bearing shear zone which also cuts a narrow mafic dyke. The shear zone is subvertical and strikes 090 to 100 degrees. Several thin shears, up to 5 centimetres wide and containing abundant pyrite and chalcopyrite, form the 2 metre wide shear at the adit portal. A composite rock sample of two distinct shears, each approximately 20 centimetres wide, which are exposed along the roof of the adit, assayed 0.4 per cent copper, 5.03 grams per tonne gold and 10.1 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 17947).
Name: BASELINE
The Baseline occurrence is underlain by amygdaloidal basalt of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation (Vancouver Group).
Abundant, substantially weathered veinlet and disseminated pyrite occurs in moderately to strongly fractured basalt. A rock channel sample collected over 1.8 metres of exposed outcrop assayed 0.86 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 17947).
Name: ROAD SHOW
The Road Show occurrence is underlain by basalt of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation (Vancouver Group).
Abundant magnetite with minor pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite occurs in foliated and locally banded basalt. A rock sample assayed 0.44 per cent copper (Assessment Report 17947).
