The Fir Mineral Claim is a 182.72 hectare mineral claim that lies in the Kamloops Mining Division of British Columbia.

The mineral claim is underlain by sediments and volcanics of the Cambrian to Ordovician Eagle Bay Formation, consisting of limestones, schists and tuffs.

Mineralized quartz veins, trending southeast, occur within the volcanics and limestones. The veins carry galena and tetra- hedrite.

About The Red Fir (Tenure 594936)

The property is underlain by sediments and volcanics of the Eagle Bay Formation of Devonian-Mississippian age.

The dominant structural trend in the area is 060 degrees with moderate (25-30 degree) dips to the northwest.

Phyllitic sediments intercalated with dolomitized and silicified carbonates are overlain by a highly pyritic chlorite schist. Separating the two units is a thin (0.5 metre) conform- able calc-silicate alteration zone.

Cutting the phyllitic sediments is a 6 by 9 metre, north-trending, quartz stockwork containing disseminations and irregular pods of galena, sphalerite and pyrite. The stockwork has a sooty black exposed surface.
