It appears Green River is not only finding magnesite but also nickel in the dolomites...
And another junior named Hi Ho Silver, is now onto the fact, these purcell ranges host many other minerals, not just dolomites - proof, the multiple stratigraphies have many other types of minerals...
( Mt Nelson Super Group Formation ) Same as, Driftwood.
Mining Division located 35km southwest of Invermere, BC.
At the Copper King prospect a 1.0 metre wide chip sample across the vein assayed 75 grams per tonne silver, 1.22% copper, 1.08% zinc and 0.25% lead.
At the Great Northern prospect a 1.2 metre chip sample across the mineralized vein assayed 35 grams per tonne silver, 4.37% lead and 1.05% copper (Property File - see 082KSE004, Sheppard, EP (1971): Geological Report on the Tatler Group).
At the Butler prospect the vein has been explored with two adits and a 150 metre long crosscut. A 50 cm chip sample across the mineralized vein assayed 250 grams per tonne silver, 3.0% copper, 1.26% zinc and 0.5% lead.

Why am i mentioning this ?
No, not invested in this so said junior, stated above.
Simply pointing out, the potential copper mineral could be the - green carbonates - mentioned in
Driftwood report.
The DRIFTWOOD carbonates in different stratigraphy host several colors...
One of them is APPLE GREEN.
.
Nickel carbonate - green. ( 2001 assays show nickel presence )
And copper carbonate - apple green. ( other junior states historical copper findings )
If another location on these purcell ranges has copper in the dolo sequences on same purcell group geology,, then, makes one wonder if the apple green carbonates on Driftwood host - copper ?
Copper carbonate:
- Copper carbonate is a chemical compound, more properly called Copper(II) carbonate hydroxide.
- It decomposes in the atmosphere to give Copper oxide and Oxygen.
- The chemical formula of Copper carbonate is - CuCO3
- Therefore, the colour of Copper carbonate is green.

Another interesting tid bit...
Past ( associations ) were into diamonds, jade and gemstones...
I came across this short video - showing how gems + diamonds are found in, dolos.
Interesting.
