The Petty poly-metallic occurrence is located on the south slope of Table Mountain, above Graham Inlet, about 15 kilometres north-west of Atlin, British Columbia.
There is a description of the occurrence on the British Columbia “Minfile” site, current to 2021, part of which is quoted below:
“The showing consists of a quartz-calcite vein hosted within the dioritic dikes. It may be the extension of the Dundee vein (104N 003) located 170 metres to the north, but fault displacement makes the correlation difficult. The vein strikes 030 degrees and dips about 40 degrees to the northwest. Inconsistent mineralization in the vein comprises galena, chalcopyrite and lesser pyrite, azurite, and malachite. One small cavity was lined with the rare mineral linarite (a base sulphate of lead and copper). Smaller veins occur within 0.6 metres of the main vein and the wallrock in between is often mineralized with galena and chalcopyrite. Unlike the Dundee occurrence, the wallrock surrounding the Petty veins is not mineralized. The veins are also of a much more consistent thickness on the Petty property. ”
Comments by Giles Peatfield on some of the minerals reported from the locality:
Linarite: This uncommon mineral was reported by Cairnes (1911, 1913) and by Johnston (1915).
Sphalerite: This was not reported by early workers, but has been noted by Aspinall (2013).
