The Property
The Property is located in North Central BC, approximately 100 kilometres northwest of Fort St. James. It is comprised of two claim blocks: the North Block (1,196.19 ha) and the South Block (1,311.75 ha). The Property lies within the Quesnel Trough, a 600-kilometre long geological belt extending from south of Mt. Polley to north of the Kemess Deposit. It is considered an early stage exploration prospect that has potential to host both porphyry type copper-gold mineralization and vein type gold mineralization.
The Quesnel Trough hosts numerous porphyry copper-gold+/-molybdenum deposits, the majority of which are associated with early Jurassic age, potassically altered diorite, monzonite, and syenite intrusive bodies. The most significant porphyry deposits in the Quesnel Trough include the operating Kemess, Mt. Milligan and Mt. Polley Mines as well as the Kwanika and Woodjam deposits.
