Geological Summary |
The Red claims are located on the northeast side of Babine Lake, approximately 18 kilometres due north of the village of Topley Landing. The Babine Lake area is within the Intermontane tectonic belt, which is underlain principally by Mesozoic layered rocks. The most widespread of these in this area being volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Jurassic Hazelton Group. These are intruded by plutonic rocks of various ages including Lower Jurassic Topley intrusions, Omineca intrusions of Early Cretaceous age, Late Cretaceous rhyolite and granodiorite porphyries and Babine intrusions of Early Tertiary age. To date no significant economic metal assays have been obtained but a horizon zone identified has potenital for hosting a significant mineral deposit.
