Extract from MINFILE No 093E 001:
The Emerald Glacier mine mineralization is hosted primarily by sedimentary rocks in a zone of transition between the two members. These rocks include intercalated sandstone, tuff, tuffaceous sandstone, siltstone and shale. Dacite, basalt and rhyolite dikes cut the stratified rocks.
En echelon quartz veining extends for at least 1200 metres and is associated with shears striking about 170 degrees and dipping 60 degrees to 75 degrees east. The main mineralization occurs in one of these shears and is associated with quartz veining up to 3 metres wide that is variously stockwork, massive, banded, brecciated and drusy in form. Sulphide mineralization includes galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite and pyrite in order of decreasing abundance. Smaller veins in the vicinity are dominated by sphalerite.
Unclassified reserves are 40,800 tonnes grading 355 grams per tonne silver, 8.23 per cent lead, 9.49 per cent zinc and 1.13 grams per tonne gold (CIM Special Volume 37, page 186).
