Capsule
Work History
Staked as Toad cl (Y82687) in Jun/74 by Brascan Res L, which conducted mapping, soil sampling and hand trenching later in the year.
Capsule Geology
Sphalerite and galena occur along fractures and in veins, and less commonly as vug fillings in Cambrian to Devonian platform carbonate rocks that are folded and faulted in a north or northwesterly direction. The mineralized section has a stratigraphic thickness of 7.6 m and has been followed for a strike length of 41 m. Chip samples from two 3 m trenches assayed up to 3% Pb, 12% Zn and 1.0 g/t Ag.
