The JSrocklyn formation consists of?

Itiasst&ns • thin bedded, nmssivs, and conglomerate (formerly called brecciated*)

Oc^slcaerate - pebbles of sa?t WJ& or limestone i n a nutria of g r i t and c andssits and or lines tone (formerly called chart jasperiod breccia)

• * -

(1) I t l a l a place* v e i l bedded, with sholay, aad or limey and or chert bede alternating with the conglomerate beds. This tedding ha* formerly been called banding; the •bands8 being formed by a elective replacement of limestone and or shale by chert, and subsequently brscelatec. However, the •bands* are parallel though i n places lenticular, nowhere transect the regional structure, are uniform i n composition along strike and variable serosa strike, and i n places show scour and f i l l *

(2) She pebbles In a small volume of a single band arc heterogeneous. Ximeoti. i pebbles ore well rounds* and chert pebbles are angular and sharp, as would be expected from differential weathering, lbs chert pebbles lying proximate are i n plaices variable in color, one i s Jasper, oas creamy, one pals groan, one ligh t gray and dark grey banded, though not parallel to the bedding of the host rock. ... t s l l i c l o a s solutions postulated i n the replacement hypothesis burnt have changed narkedly In short distances i n order to form pebbles with this variety of color. I f ens argues that the different colors wars originally formed i n different bands, and these bands later brecclateds then one i s l e f t with a second problem of explaining how the rock became well banded a second t i n * to make i t as i t i s today.

(3) Mc&xughton writes, "fragments of a highly altered, coarse-grained igneous rock resembling some phase of the d l a r l t c and fragments of altered aadeslte occur i n the Jasperiods i n a fsw l o c a l i t i e s * *

It 1* suggested that these fragments are weather*1 pebbles

eroded from the Inob H i l l formation.

(k) Some of the beds contain chert pebbles which ore well

rounded aad well slaed. These beds are best observed near the contact with aad Intercalate with the Pawhide afcmleaj and associated with line?tone In the northern. Cold Drop stopss.

She pebble hands near the Sawhide contain wall rounded pebbles of markedly even siss i n any one band. The coarsest pebbles observed In a band were about one-half inch i n dli-^eter and one-angular, yiner sised pebbles, grading into s i l t , wsrs found i n other bands, and tended to be mere rounded.

She chert grains i n the ll&setsms) are wall rounded, fretted,

end not mutually supported. The coarsest grains observed were about

one f i f t h inch i n diaasta^. The evidence suggsets that these pebbles

were wind-transported.

It seems logical that the grains found associated with the ssdiments deposited furthest off shore In these deltaic -spoolts, that i s with tha shale and limestone, were transported greater distances than the pebbles i n the conglomerates, formed nearer shore. They thus underwent acre abrasion, and so are rounded, and as would be expected are also better aorta*.

On the other hand, hy tiro thermal s i l l o i f l c a t ion and s i l l e a t l o a

i s associated with mineralisation. In the Immediate footwall of the

Granby mineralised zees the rock i n places i s a l i g h t creex to lig h t

green chert, i n places massive, i n others banded, fehere banded, however,

the banding invariably conforms to banding found i n the ore-body I t s e l f ,

In the mineralised xone the sil i c a t e s epiiote. garnet, aotinolite and hematite vera formed replacing the ispurs limey beds,

Granted that eUloioue solution* did occur In mineralized areas, i t i s believed that they were limited to these areas and did not replace great Volumes of limestone, arg i l l i t e etc. to form the 'jasperiod and chert. 8

There are usually many explanations possible for a given set of geological conditions. The simplest explanation i s not always correct, but we generally prefer to accept I t . Zt l a believed mors l i k e l y that the jasper!ode 1 are a conglomerate rather than a tectonic breccia, and consequently the rock Is renamed •sharpstone conglomerate,'

OAS - Age Unknown

MoSaughtoa states °The Tertiary sedimentary and Igneous

rooks are younger than the ore deposits but glvec no evidence

to support ths statement* The present work has produced no evidence

as to whether the ere deposits arc older or younger than tha Tertiary

rocks*

£ata Suggesting that ths ore nay be older are as follows!

Ko exposures have been found i n which mineralisation transects or rsplaoss

Tertiary rocks. A few places were noted i n which ore appeared to be of

higher grade close to pulaakite dykee9 but these oeoursacee say be

coincidence for patches of 'high-grade1 aloe occur with no relation to

pulaakite. In two underground l o c a l i t i e s i t appeared that the pulaakite

had picked up inclusions of ore. However, the rock i n these places was

so altered and gougey frou faulting that Identification of the pulaakite

was uncertain and the ore inclusions ma have been fault '"drag.1

2ata suggaetiag that the ore deposits may be younger are as

follows* The ore bodies at Ihoenln are within a few hundred feet of

the footwall contact of the Tertiary rocks. Zt i s possible that at

Phoenix the Tertiary rooks provided a •cap1 for the mineralising

solutions* ths Tertiary reanaate are lenticular, and irregularly

distributed throughout the Boundary country. It i s not known i f the

2. 0. basin area near Shalt was covered by fartiary rooks, and thus

the structural relations of the ore found i n Ore vonora, z &aa, and

B. C. tainem to the tertiary rooks i s unknown. The pulaakite dykes

l a the mineralized area are i n tunny places so strongly altered to

clay minerals aad s e r i c i t e that they are d i f f i c u l t to identify u n t i l

i t nay be caused by the mineralising solutloast i t Is certainly

mssam> Our mapping indicates thnfc She eldest Knob H i l l group of

volcanics and cherts i s conformable., at least l a placet?, with ths

overlying lenses of Bawhlds shales, which in turn are conformable to

the overlying Brooklyn formation. Where the Bawhide shales are absent,

ths Knob H i l l gradee into the Brooklyn format Ion.

In the Knob B i l l group near the contact with ths overlying

Brooklyn formation some of the chert beds show a vague mottling

suggesting that the beds originally could have been oher^ pebble

conglomerate, i n which the pebbles have almost completely fused, l a

other places, well v i thin tha Knob JU1X group, notably west of Snob H i l l

Only one a or lot of outcrops, near Hartford Junction on ths

old railroad grade f r o * Summit City, shows a contact between Knob-

H i l l and Hawhids formations. Ths rocks exposed are such that one

cannot distinguish where ths Enob H i l l andesltss term!nets and ths

Rawhids shales begin. The northernmost of the outcrops arc massive

andssite, and ths southernmost arc bedded shales.

Ths Brooklyn formation south of SVin Creek forme an east

degree* north. At the western contact with the Knob S i l l group the

Brooklyn formation dips sixty degrees sasterlyi further east the dip

flattens to f i r e or ten degrees north-easterly. Ths topography i s

contact with Knob B i l l group and nawhida formation forms a ssai-oircle

extending from west of Khofe H i l l « Irons idee mine) through Grey 5egle(

War Eagle, Monarch, Rawhide, to Curlew and Snowshoe mines.

A structural •break8 probably occurs i n ths valley of Twin Creek, for the fifteen hundred foot thick hand of lime*ton* west of Brooklyn does not continue acroes the valley to ths south.

Ths Brooklyn formation extending i n beads from Xnoenix towards Shalt dlpe steeply east i n most places, cut synclinal and a n t i c l i n a l r o l l s with north-trending axes were noted (see map)*

The large copper ore bodies found i n ths d i s t r i c t arc replace­

ments of lime*tone and impure limey beds of ths Brooklyn formation*

These ore bodies include ths .Brooklyn, In lines ton* at the contact of

sharpstone conglomerate; the Stemwlndsr at the contact of limestone

conglomerate with chert sharps tone conglomerate; ths Cranby In what

are probably impure limey and andesltlo beds intercalated with sharp*

However, ths geological study has indicated that ths over* burden covered areas along ths old Bholt road; and i n tha 3.

A main bass station was made near the campsite, and the Instrument est to the same reading on this station preceding and following each f i e l d day. local case stations were mads i n each area surveyed and calibrated to ths main bass. Checks were mads several times a day at ths local bass stations to determine ths Variation i n ths diurnal, and this variation was taken into account In calculating the magnetic Intensity of oaeh station.

The location of the individual areas i s shown on ths accompany-*

ing claim jap. Stations In the B. Summit City, and Loon Lake areas

were taken at 50 foot intervals on lines 100 and 200 feet apart as

shown on the accompanying osape. The lines were surveyed with 3runtoa

compass, cut out, and pickets put i n at the stations by *f. *. KoArthur

and associates of Greenwood. Tha pickets are numbered, and corres­

ponding numbers are shown on ths blogeochemicaX maps* Ths geophysical

stations and biogsoohsmical stations correspond In a l l places where

both nsthcds have been applied. A bass l i n e was surveyed i n by Sruntcn and taps along ths

Eholt road, and Bruntsa and taps cross lines to ths west vers surveyed l a from the base l i n e . A tree has been biased and numbered - X 1, £ 2,

Magnetic anomalies war* testsd for electric current by self-potential survey. Ths results of ths self-potential survey are shown on the geophysical maps - negative readings In m i l l i v o l t s are recorded below the mapped lines and at the stations.

Interpretation of the geophysical surveys of each area Is as follows! (Please refer to the map of each area).

Out crape are few, aonll, and altered, so that Interpretation of

geophysical data i s necessarily hypothetical. The area i s on strike of

ths Granby mine. At least one of the outcrops i n highly altered lime­

stone. The weak Magnetic anomalies trend parallel to the regional strike

l a neighbouring areas where ou to rope occur, and thsss anomalies could be

caused by either replacement ore lenses with low content of magnetic

minerals or slight variations i n amount of magnetic minerals i n the country rock.

She magnetic intensity shows considerable variation with no oonslstaat trends. Several of ths magnetic highs arc on or d oss to outcrops of pulaakite dykes, tat stagnstio lows also occur on ths sans dyke or by similar dykes. This leads ts the conclusion that ths dykes are •phasey' that Is, vary i n content of magnetic minerals from plans to place. In neighbouring areas the dykes are numerous, and dip f l a t l y west. They would tend to blanket cut possible anomalies from under-* lying ore bodies i n the steeply dipping -Brooklyn formation.

The selfopotsntial survey did not disclose any anomaly.

The entire area Is much mors magnetic than ths adjoining areas

where fresh limestone outcrops* Variations i n ths magnetio intensity

trend north south, parallel to the regional attitude of the bedding.

Pulaakite dykes, dipping f l a t l y westerly, are very abundant i n outcrops

north and south of the area, and probably occur i n the area. These

dykes nay produce taji anomalies.

Ths strongest magnetic •high 1, i n the aouth-west corner of ths

However, the area i s on strike of the Oro Denora, Soma, and Jumbo mineralized zone, and notwithstanding the above mentioned dis­crediting factors, may merit a check by diamond d r i l l i n g where magnetic and biogeochemioal anomalies are proximate.

Sami* City Tory l i t t l e magnetic variation was found. Ths high i n the

south-west corner may be caused by an angite porphyry dyke which out­

crops about one hundred feet south usst of the high. Uc outcrops were

found i n the area, but the regional geology Indicates OCiat the area i s
