Geological Summary |
Massive granodiorite of the Cretaceous-Jurassic Nelson Plutonic Rocks are cut by a strong, 1 to 2 metre wide shear zone crossing the W 1-2 property (immediately north of the W 3 mineral claim) for at least 300 metres at 080 degrees. The zone dips vertically. Vuggy quartz veins 5-50 centimetres in width fill the shear locally. Mineralization consists of pockets of pyrite, galena and sphalerite within or adjacent the quartz. Silver assays range from 60 to 300 grams per tonne, while gold assays range from 3 to 15 grams per tonne. Saussuritization extends 0.5 metres on either side of the shear, while chlorite alteration extends up to 3 metres. Parallel structures are expected on the W 3 & 4 claims.
