Copper, Gold, Silver Mineral Property For Sale

 Jo Luxor – Pedro Georgia

 

Summary:
The claims cover the JO (Luxor) occurrence minfile number 103O 014. This is a northwest trending massive sulphide zone. The zone is open in all directions and soils and geophysics indicate good further potential. The Pedro Georgia workings in a different part of the property have been developed on several mineralized quartz veins and shears.

Location and Access:
The Jo Luxor – Pedro Georgia showings are located on the south side of the Georgia River about 8 Km from the Portland Canal and about 20 Km south-southwest of Stewart BC.

The property is located about 3.5 Km south of the Georgia River Gold Deposit. Total combined reserves reported at Georgia River deposit were 321,367 tonnes grading 28.7 grams per tonne gold Total measured, indicated and inferred reserves on the Georgia River deposit are in the order of 66,323 oz Au and 81,373 oz Ag.

The Pedro – Georgia vein system is also geologically similar.

Description:
The Jo Luxor – Pedro Georgia claim group cover the JO (Luxor) occurrence. This is a northwest trending sulphide zone 1.21 metres wide and is exposed on surface for over 28 metres. The zone is open in all directions and soils and geophysics indicate good further potential. Samples of the massive sulphide-rich zone assayed up to 6.05 ounces per tonne gold, 48.67 grams per tonne silver and 22.6 per cent copper. There are numerous soil anomalies and other surface showings also.

At the the Pedro Georgia workings several adits have been developed on mineralized quartz veins, some of which range to 3 metres in width. Recent exploration has rediscovered an upper and lower adits developed on a shear zones containing quartz lenses. Chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite and pyrite are evident. Grab samples of mineralized quartz vein material assayed up to 1.09 grams per tonne gold and 188.88 grams per tonne silver. Grab and chip assays of heavily mineralized quartz assay up to 4.088 oz per ton Au and 32.75 oz per ton Ag. Exploration has been minimal to date, and the ground has excellent further discovery potential.

Geology:
The Pedro Georgia property is underlain by an assemblage of sheared epiclastic rocks (lapilli tuffs) and andesitic flows of the Hazelton Group intruded by massive granodiorite and related dykes of the Hyder Pluton. The epiclastic rocks consist of angular and unsorted andesitic fragments within either a fine-grained sandstone or tuff matrix.

The rocks have been locally subjected to strong shearing and are generally altered to a chloritic foliated rock. Calcite and epidote stringers are common. Several fault zones are evident, the most prominent, is located along Koris Creek. This pyritic fault zone is up to 6 metres wide and consists of weakly silicified volcanic rock with fragments of altered granodiorite. Sulphide-bearing quartz veins are associated with northwest trending shears or fracture zones within Hazelton Group rocks near granodiorite intrusive rocks. The shear zones are generally occupied by sericitic to chloritic schists.

Adits follow sulphide-bearing quartz veins at the confluence of Koris Creek and Georgie River. This zone represents part of the Pedro Georgia workings. Mineralization consists of variably coarsely crystalline galena, coarse sphalerite, pyrite, minor chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite. Chlorite and calcite occurs along the shear zone.

Regionally the area lies adjacent to and includes moderately folded volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group intruded by a succession of plutons of the Tertiary Coast Plutonic Complex. Hazelton Group rocks include a variety of sandstones, conglomerates and breccias as well as minor intercalated tuffs, siltstones and flow material. Granodiorite is the dominant rock of the Coast Plutonic Complex but stocks and plutons vary from quartz monzonite, quartz diorite to granite. Numerous dyke swarms range in composition from granite, quartz monzonite, granodiorite and quartz diorite.

History:
The Pedro Georgia River Syndicate was formed in July 1928 by M. Koras, and Nicholas & associates, of Stewart, to carry on exploration and development work on a group of 16 claims. About 450 feet of drifting and crosscutting was done in three adits. The Gold Coin group of claims, held by Extenuate Gold Mines, Limited in 1926, may have been located on these showings. Newconex Canadian Exploration Ltd. held the Jim and JO groups totalling 127 claims in 1962. Magnetometer and electromagnetic surveys, geological mapping, trenching and sampling was reported. Only minor prospecting and sampling to date, no extensive modern exploration.
