Structure · Layer 02 of 11
A folded geological framework linking Thor’s setting with the wider Silver Cup Mining District in southeastern British Columbia.
01 · Structural framework
The anticline organizes faults, fractures and hydrothermal pathways across the district. Mineralization occurs on both sides of the fold.

Southwest limb
Ag–Au–Pb–Zn–Cu epithermal mineralization. Possible extensions beneath the Ferguson rockslide toward Slash and Abrahamson remain exploration interpretations.
02 · Field evidence
Compression reshaped originally layered sediments through folding, faulting, shearing and recrystallization.
Broadview Formation
Structural features preserved in the host rocks.

03 · Exploration context
Mapping, airborne magnetics and magnetotellurics inform interpretations beneath cover. Concealed extensions require testing.
Rock–fluid reactions influence where metals precipitate.
Fractures and permeability guide mineralizing fluids.
Mappable changes help guide exploration.
Rock behaviour influences vein shape and continuity.
Rock competence affects support and dilution.
Overprinting helps reconstruct geological events.
