Geology

Geology in the Theory region is primarily comprised of lower Jurassic Hazelton Group volcanics, which unconformably overlie late Triassic Takla Group volcanics. The entire package of rocks is intruded by late Triassic and early Jurassic stocks. The majority of the Theory property encompasses the highly prospective Jurassic-Triassic unconformity (~200 Ma), termed by the BC Geological Survey as the ‘Red-Line,’ which has a high spatial correlation to many of the known deposits throughout the Golden Triangle and Toodoggone.

The 12,044 ha Vulcan Property is located in the Purcell Mountains, 35 km NW of the historic Sullivan Mine at Kimberley, B.C. The Sullivan contained 160 million tons grading 12% Pb-Zn and 67 g/t Ag, with a mineable lifetime of 92 years, and a contained metal value in present dollars exceeding 35 billion dollars.  

The 355 ha Wildhorse Property is located 27 km NE of Cranbrook in the Rocky Mountains of SE B.C.  Situated on the east side of the Wildhorse River, where over 1 m oz. of gold was mined from gravels in the late 1800’s, the claims coincide with the furthest reported upstream placer gold occurrences.

Acquired in 2004 for its gold vein occurrences and sediment hosted copper mineralization, The project is 100% owned by Eagle Plains with a 2% NSR held by Eagle Royalties containing a 1% buy-back clause.
