| Geological Summary |
The Purcell Property is underlain by fissile metasediments of the Slocan series which are intruded by sill-like granodioritic bodies. Northeast-trending tear faults host quartz-carbonate veins that are mineralized with argentite, pyrargyrite, native silver, galena, tetrahedrite and sphalerite. Three veins on the property have previously been mined at a profit. They are the Goodenough vein, the Grey Copper vein and the Idaho vein. Ore grades in these veins ran up to 22630 grams of silver per tonne.
