New Re-Os age data from three molybdenite samples collected at the Eaglet property in southeastern British Columbia yielded model ages of 200.3, 233.8 and 251.6 Ma, but the signifi cance of these multiple ages remains unclear. Sulphur values of δ34S +6.00 to +12.91‰ for celestite are outside the range of published values for sulphates of marine origin and indicate some other crustal source of sulphate. Galena intergrown with celestite shows an overlapping δ34S of +12.07‰, but pyrite displays much lower δ34S values: +0.99 to -4.84‰. With δ34S restricted to -3.93 to -5.04‰, molybdenite suggests a single homogeneous sulphur source, in spite of the three signifi cantly different model ages. Fluid inclusions in fluorite samples display varied fluid types corresponding to three types of fluorite identified macroscopically. This is consistent with the idea of multiphase mineralization described for this deposit in previous reports. The minimum trapping pressure, constrained by temperature and composition, is 2.1 to 2.6 Kb.
