NORMAAu, CuSkarn / ReplacementBRITISH COLUMBIA
Geology:  Jurassic age Quartz Diorite - Granodiorite of Hogem Batholith intrude a sequence of Upper Triassic Takla Gp. and Permian age Asitka Gp. intermediate volcanics and sediments. A northerly striking (1300 m x 500m ) westerly dipping marble occurs along the western contact of a 2000 m long x 500 m wide quartz diorite stock. Estimated true thickness of marble unit is ~300 m.
Mineralization:  Previous work found +20,000 Au ppb in pan samples from creeks draining a restricted catchment basin. Visible gold in small creek draining north side of marble. Minor calcsilicate as local narrow bands and pods in marble. Scattered occurrences of pyrite in volcanics, minor malachite in carbonate. Widespread potassium silicate alteration in adjacent intrusive rocks. Propylitic alteration common in volcanics.
Work:  1997 staked as Norma property, prospecting, lithogeochemistry, limited contour soil sampling. Originally found during regional survey in 1989 (Teck Explorations). Briefly explored by cursory reconnaisance style evaluations by Teck and Noranda.
Results:  Contact area between carbonate and intrusion poorly exposed. Source of stream gold remains unexplained. Soil / Talus fines returned up to 200 ppb Au. in vicinity of limestone. Six multielement geochemical anomalies have been found in prelimiary contour soil sampling. Carbonate of high industrial grade see NORMA - INDUSTRIAL MINERALS
Property Details & Access:  1 claim (512.5 ha)
Access via Omenica Mining Road to within 5 km of property, helicopter required to property. Kemess Mine site and airstrip within 10 km of property.
Detail Location:  270 km NW of MacKenzie, British Columbia, Canada, Omineca Mining Division NTS 94D 15
Other Comments:  Source of gold remains unexplained. Contour soil sampling required at lower elevations. Gold in pans highly anomalous given small size of pan sample (12 x 14 inch sample bag of material). No record of detail property evaluation of this area. Property is west of historic placer Au operation on McConnell Creek.
