Capsule Geology
Geological mapping (Murphy et al. 2001) shows the region is dominantly underlain by a layered sequence of Devonian to Early Mississippian metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks belonging to the Yukon-Tanana Terrane (YTT). The YTT is a volcanic-plutonic pericratonic arc assemblage that was strongly deformed and metamorphosed by Late Triassic time. Volcanic-hosted massive sulphide deposits exist at different stratigraphic positions within the YTT.
The occurrence lies just north of the Tintina Fault and is underlain by Mississippian augen gneiss of the Grass Lakes Plutonic Suite. Small amounts of galena were found in quartz vein float in an area of poor outcrop.
