Geology:
Upper Paleozoic Stikine assemblage volcanics
and volcaniclastic rocks overlain by thick
sequence Lower Permian limestone,dolomites and minor chert.
Carbonate unit overlain by Upper Triassic feldspathic sandstones
and volcaniclastic sandstones, limestone-bearing conglomerates, and
siltstones, which in turn is overlain by Lower Jurassic polymictic pebble
conglomerates, sandstones and argillites.
Small serpentinite bodies present.
Early Mississippian quartz diorite to granite intrusion (
More Creek plutonic suite), underlies most of eastern portion of
property.
Quaternary Arctic Lake olivine basalts drape present topography
on eastern and northern part
of property.

Mineralization:
Jan Prospect : carbonate hosted Cu-Sb-As-Zn-Ag ± Pb vein type deposit.Gold rare.
mineralization fault controlled;
massive fracture-filling to disseminated tetrahedrite-tennantite with
associated secondary malachite, azurite and minor sphalerite, galena,
(chalcopyrite and bornite) in extensively fractured dolomitized,
patchily silicified dolomitic limestones.
Bam 10 Prospect :
fault and shear-hosted Au±Cu±Ag quartz veins within and adjacent to
intrusive rock; 2 km south of Jan prospect.
Gold mineralization in granite host occurs with fine to coarse
grained pyrite within grey quartz veins; veins
discontinuous , tend to pinch out and disperse into the highly fractured
granitic host rock.

1967: outlined
unclassified resource on Jan 1-2 prospect (Shawinigan Mining and Smelting Company Ltd)
1972: geological mapping, silt and
soil sampling in the area of Jan prospect (Phelps Dodge)
