Mount Copeland
Mt. Copeland Past Producing High Grade Molybdenum Property
The Mount Copeland deposit lies within metamorphic rocks flanking the southern margin of Frenchman Cap Dome, 32 kilometers northwest of Revelstoke, British Columbia. The rocks have been metamorphosed and subjected to three phases of deformation. Lenses of syenite pegmatite and syenite aplite are common along the northern border of the nepheline syenite unit, and because of their concentrations of molybdenite, are the focus of economic interest. During the life of the Mount Copeland mine (1970-1974) almost all production was from these aplite-pegmatite bodies within the syenite gneisses, more specifically the Glacier zone, which was up to 3 meters thick and exposed for 121 meters along a strike length of over 1 kilometer. The object of Torch River Resources exploration efforts will be to attempt to find a repeat of the Glacier zone, which produced 163,278 tonnes grading 1.1 percent molybdenum.
