Jan 29, 2021 (A Wilson) - The Jubilee Shear Zone shows a close coincidence with the eastern contact between the Jubilee Lake Stock and a distinct intrusive granodiorite breccia. Large scale structures, dikes etc., are truncated by the Jubilee Shear. North of highway 101, the Jubilee Shear parallels the western margin of the Jubilee stock, but in the vicinity of the Jubilee and Surluga Mines, it lies completely within the dioritic stock. It is characterized by an abrupt transition from relatively massive to highly schistose rocks with numerous generations of quartz and carbonate veins. The Jubilee shear appears to be the principle structure in the fracture system involved in the introduction of gold to the system.

Jan 29, 2021 (A Wilson) - The ore body consists of a series of anastomosing quartz veins and stringers within a 15-20 m wide shear zone. The host rock is a hybrid breccia which has been extensively sheared and mylonitized. The auriferous veins are a pre-shearing set of an older generation of coarse, glassy-quartz veins. Mylonitized sericite schist within the shear zone also carries gold. A second generation of quartz-tourmaline or pinto quartz veins is practically barren of gold.

Jan 29, 2021 (Sheree Hinz) - The ore body is described as a coarse, glassy quartz lens varying from 10 to 40 feet in width and over 600 feet in length (ARV44-08). The quartz lens increases in width to an inclined depth of 640 feet; however, gold values decrease with depth. Gledhill (1935, p.77) reported that the quartz contains large aggregates of tourmaline, ankerite and minor quantities of pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite. He reported rare native gold. The shear zone contains abundant inclusions of country rock which along with the quartz is traversed by an intricate network of red quartz-carbonate veins which locally impart a red colour to the rock.
