Location and accuracy | This occurrence is supposed to be on the left limit of the Inmachuk River, on the ridge between Inmachuk River and Collins Creek. The location is very approximate and unconfirmed. It is locality 6 of Cobb (1972; MF 417; 1975; OFR 75-429). |
Geologic descriptionMertie (1919) described a sample said to be from this occurrence as containing galena, magnetite, limonite, and pyrite. The galena was supposedly argentiferous. The gossanous character of the occurrence was reported by Anderson (1947), but its location and nature have not been confirmed. Bedrock of the area is a metasedimentary schist and marble sequence of Lower Paleozoic age (Till and others, 1986). | |
