Geological Summary |
The Hoop claims are underlain by Paleozoic Sicker Group mafic volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks, and are transected by a major northwest-trending, carbonate-altered shear zone related to the Cowichan Lake Fault. A mafic igneous complex consisting of sheared diorite, gabbro, uralitized pyroxenite, and basaltic volcanics occurs on the west side. Lithogeochemical values are elevated in gold, copper, nickel and chromium. Layered cherty tuff with banded sulphides indicates potential for nearby volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits.
