Geological Summary
The property is underlain by Pennsylvanian Cache Creek Group sediments and volcanics which are intruded by the Pennsylvanian or later Nahlin ultramafic body. The ultramafic is in fault contact (Nahlin fault system) towards the southwest with the Jurassic Laberge Group sediments. Tertiary felsic rocks intrude the ultramafic centre of the property. Two main zones of alteration and mineralization have been located on the the eastern and western margins of the Nahlin ultramafic body. The zones trend 150 degrees, parallel to the regional faults. Broad mercury soil geochemical anomalies occur in areas of intense carbonate alteration.Crystalline cinnabar (and orpiment at 12 + 00S/0 + 88OW) occurs in several locations within the alteration zones. The largest zone of cinnabar mineralization occurs on the West grid between lines 9 + OOS and 12 + OOS. The area is at least 350 metres long and 100 metres wide. Samples within this zone contain up to 20 per cent cinnabar and between 52.1 ppm and 5.98 per cent mercury. The mineralized zones occur in areas of poor exposures and heavy vegetation cover.
