چکیده
North ern Van cou ver Is land is richly en dowed in a va ri ety of base and pre cious-metal de pos its. For ex am ple, the Cu-Mo-Au por phyry de posit at the for mer Is land Cop per mine (1971–1994) pro duced ap prox i mately 345 mil lion tonnes of ore with av er age head grades of 0.41 wt% Cu, 0.017% Mo, 0.19 g/t Au and 1.4 g/t Ag (Perello et al., 1995). Other por phyry de pos its are known to ex ist in the re gion (e.g., Hushamu [MINFILE oc cur rence 92L 240] and Red Dog [92L 200]; MINFILE, 2005) and, thanks to a re cent surge in metal prices, the po ten tial for bring ing these and fu ture dis cov er ies into production is currently high.

In order to improve our understanding of the mineral potential of northern Vancouver Island beyond the wellknown intrusion-related Cu-Au-Ag(-Mo) porphyry deposits (e.g., Hushamu, MINFILE 092L 240 and the former Island Copper mine, MINFILE 092L 158) and base and precious-metal skarns (e.g., Merry Widow, MINFILE 092L 044), we need a better understanding of the stratigraphy of the Bonanza island a...
متن کاملMineral Potential of the Southern Coast Belt, Cape Caution Area, British Columbia (092L, 092M)
This report discusses the geology and mineral potential of a segment of the southern Coast Mountains, near Cape Caution (straddling NTS areas 092L, 092M). The information presented is based on field visits, public domain reports and old staking records. The area was covered by a Ministry of Energy and Mine’s lake sediment survey in 1999. The program is discussed in Jackaman et al. (1999), this ...

This report discusses the geology and mineral potential of a segment of the Coast Mountains, east of Princess Royal Island (in NTS area 103H) termed the Khutze River area. The information presented is based on public domain reports and old staking records. In 1999, a regional stream sediment survey was conducted in the area by the Ministry of Energy and Mines. The results of the geochemical sur...

structural study by Glover (19%). His 1:25 000-scale map of the Sununit Pass area overlaps thc western pan of the Creston map. area and has been incorporated in this study (Figure 1). Stratigraphic divisions adopted by Glover (following those of Rice, 1941) are largely maintained here. A thesis by 13arrett (1982) describes structures in the Bayonne batholith, along the northern edge of the Cr...
