Explore The History Of Koocanusa
Over 1.4 Billion Years Of History
The rocks at Koocanusa formed during a period that geologists call “The Boring Billion”, which was a time when plate tectonics were just getting started and simple life was establishing itself. The video by PBS is a great introduction to this special era in Earth history, which was anything but boring!
We also provide you a timelines which offers insights to recent and historical activity on the site, as well as proving a window into deep time to explore the formation of the Koocanusa project.

Looking to the Future
With the initial prospecting of Koocanusa completed and viable targets established, the next steps for the project will be to develop a detailed exploration assessment program:
Desktop
Continue compilation of historical data, especially on the newly acquired western claims.
Relogging of historical core stored in yard near Cranbrook
Mineralogical and metallurgical studies from rock samples collected during site work
Conversion of field data into interpretations and detailed zone maps and sections
Exploration
Methodical regional reconnaissance, structural mapping and sampling along strike of “alpha” horizons
Air-based geophysical surveys to better define sub-surface targets
Enhanced mineralogical and petrographic studies of host lithologies and mineralizing events
Environmental & Socioeconomic
Continue to build a dialogue with the Ktunaxa First Nations, specifically their Land Stewardship Guardian.
Establishment of wildlife recording protocol, especially in relation to Grizzly and winter ungulate ranges.
Water testing in areas of known anomalous mercury to achieve baseline and potential “predisturbance” data.
Work with local forestry companies to share access and develop programs based around new trail development.
Applications for permits to allow for low-impact trenching or geoprobe exploration
