Capsule Geology

Galena and minor sphalerite, chalcopyrite and scheelite occur in quartz veins cutting phyllite, schist and limestone. Six grab samples collected from different veins cutting the ridge along a length of 1.6 km averaged 130.3 g/t Ag, 4.2% Pb and 0.7% Zn across an average width of 0.7 m. The highest copper and tungsten assays were 0.9 and 0.1% respectively. Claymore reported that a 1.5 m chip sample collected in 1985 assayed 5828.4 g/t Ag.
