Geological Summary

Gold mineralization is localized along an extensive northerly trending shear zone which cuts gneiss and diorite of the Upper Cretaceous Coast Plutonic Complex. Gold occurs with pyrite in quartz- ankerite-sericite-sulphide veins within the zone. It had been suggested that recovery of gold from tailings remaining from previous operations (early 1900's to 1942) would be economically viable if an adequate volume of material at a grade of greater than 1.71 grams per tonne was present. The present survey showed that approximately 169 500 tonnes of tailings at an average grade of 1.131 grams per tonne are contained in the area near the mouth of Paradise Creek.
