  • Metallogeny of the Bridge River Mining Camp (092J10, 15 & 092O02)
    GeoFile 1999-01 Metallogeny of the Bridge River Mining Camp (092J10, 15 & 092O02) Originally created as a web article in 1999, this document was re-released, with slight modifications, as a GeoFile in 2019. By: B.N. Church (P.Eng.) and L.D. Jones (P.Geo.), 1999 Abstract The Bridge River mining camp, known principally for gold-quartz mineralization, is remarkably similar to the Mother Lode camp of California in terms of ore mineralogy, wallrock alteration, and geological setting. In both camps, ore veins occupy major fault zones in belts of elongated serpentinite bodies flanked by granitic plutons. The camp encompasses five former mines including two large gold producers (Bralorne and Pioneer), three small producers (Wayside, Minto, and Congress), and more than 60 surrounding mineral prospects. It is underlain by Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Tertiary volcanic and sedimentary beds and igneous intrusions. The Bralorne intrusions and Pioneer volcanic rocks are the most consistently mineralized rocks in the area. The intrusions form small gabbro and diorite stocks aligned along the Cadwallader fault zone and in the Shulaps complex. Zircon from a coarse-grained phase of the Bralorne diorite yielded a U-Pb date of 293± 13 Ma indicating that the intrusions are among the oldest in the area. These rocks have 45-55% SiO2 (averaging 50.8%), similar to the Pioneer volcanic rocks, but have relatively high Mg and low Ti and iron oxides. The Bralorne and the Pioneer rocks are clearly discriminated on Ti versus felsic index (Qz+Or+Ab) plots. The Bralorne intrusions are further characterized by Ti/V values close to the 10 line and resemble ocean island arc magmas.

Department Of G^nlogi na.] .Sn.i fitipps The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 August 20, 1979 ABSTRACT The Shulaps ultramafite lies at the eastern edge of the Coast Plutonic Complex approximately 150 miles from Vancouver, B.C. It is one of the largest "alpine-type" peridotites in British Columbia, consisting primarily of harzburgite and subordinate dunite lying in an elongate zone trending northwest. Irregular bodies of gabbro and clinopyroxenite occur on the western side of the ultramafite associated with pillowed volcanic rocks. The ultramafite is bounded on the northeast by the Yalakom fault, a major regional structure, and on the southwest by rocks on the Fergusson Group, an assemblage of chert, clastic and volcanic rocks, probably of Triassic age.

Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada ii ABSTRACT Bridge River is an east-flowing tributary of Fraser River originating in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia . Its confluence with the Fraser River is near the village of Lillooet. This study encompasses the lower 15 miles (24 km) of Bridge River Valley. The purpose of the study is: (1) to describe and reconstruct the local Quaternary events and relate them to the regional chronology, (2) to produce a surficial geology map, at a scale of 1:50,000. Lacustrine, ice contact fluvio-glacial, fluvio-glacial (lacking ice contact features), glacial, alluvial fan and recent deposits occur here. From their characteristics and stratigraphic relationships, two alternative Quaternary chronologies can be reconstructed: A: Silts and clays deposited in a proglacial lake were subsequently overridden and partly deformed by ice of the last glaciation .
