Geology

Hornblende-biotite quartz diorite, a basic phase of
the Cretaceous to Tertiary Bendor pluton, occurs in a northwest
trending tongue across the property, intruding Mississippian to
Jurassic Bridge River Complex (Group) sediments. Quartzite,
silicified argillite and foliated tuffs are metamorphosed to lower
greenschist grade. The "Pilot shear" hosting the deposit trends
southeast at the contact between silicified tuff of the Upper
Triassic Noel Formation, Cadwallader Group quartz diorite and
Bridge River sediments. The 3-metre wide shear contains a number of
narrow, parallel quartz veins altered with sericite and kaolinite.
Gold and silver values are continuous along this structure for
300 metres northwest. A chip sample taken over 0.9 metres assayed
11.1 grams per tonne gold and 56.9 grams per tonne silver
(Assessment Report 11877). Another similar vein is reported to
occur along the same trend about 150 metres west of the Pilot
shear. A well maintained portal to the Pilot vein is located near
the mouth of Walker Creek on Gun Lake.

Location
|
|
|
The area
has not been fully explored and with improving gold prices interest
in the area has increased significantly. In its glory days Bralorne
Pioneer supported a town of 10,000 residents and provided hundreds
of good jobs even at the height of the great
depression.
Bralorne
has a colorful history rich in gold. Bralorne and Pioneer were the
most important gold mines in BC for much of the time of the 20th
century. Over 3 million ounces of gold was produced until the mine
was closed in 1971 due to low gold prices. The mine has opened
again and is back in production. Alaska Pacific Energy Corp.
looks forward with high anticipation to exploration of its Pilot
Gold Claims located near the Bralorne Mining Camp.
