A calcareous quartzite and calc-silicate marker succession can be mapped across east-central Vernon map area (82 L/7). Both the lithologies present and the trend of the succession suggest it correlates with host strata to the Kingfisher (Colby) and Big Ledge base-metal occurrences. This model expands potential exploration targets by defining a large region of potential host rocks that appear to extend from the eastern shores of Upper Arrow Lake west to the town of Chase, a distance of more than 100 km. 1 Contribution to the Ancient Pacific Margin NATMAP Project 1 Résumé : Une succession repère de quartzite calcareux et de roches calco-silicatées peut être suivie à travers la partie centre est de la région cartographique de Vernon (SNRC 82 L/7). Aussi bien les lithologies que l’orientation de la succession laissent croire à une corrélation avec les roches encaissantes des indices de métaux communs de Kingfisher (Colby) et de Big Ledge. Ceci accroît le nombre de cibles d’exploration potentielles en délimitant une vaste région de lithologies favorables qui semblent s’étendre vers l’ouest depuis la rive est du lac Arrow supérieur jusqu’à la ville de Chase, soit sur une distance de plus de 100 km.
