The WALLACE skarn is located approximately 10 kilometres north-northeast of Carmi.

Scheelite, noted in thin section, occurs in quartz veinlets within a limestone pendant (Carboniferous-Permian Anarchist Group?) which has been altered to garnet and epidote. The garnet and epidote may be a result of high grade metamorphism. The skarn is hosted by an unnamed Middle Jurassic quartz diorite, which was previously mapped as Middle Jurassic Nelson Intrusions (Geological Survey of Canada, Map 1736A).

A report of an exploration program in 1987 for base and precious metals notes that there are several exposures of skarn in this area. The accompanying "Claim and Showings Plan" (Assessment Report 17030, Figure 2) identifies both scheelite and chalcopyrite mineralization at this location.

Work History

In 1996, Madman Mining Co. Ltd. completed a prospecting, soil sampling, and a VLF-EM geophysical survey on the property containing the occurrence.

In 2015, Explorex Resources Inc completed magnetic and VLF-EM geophysical surveys, a prospecting and sampling program on the property containing the occurrence.

In 2017, Coast Mountain Geological Ltd. completed an exploration program including soil sampling, rock sampling, and 26.4 line-kilometres of ground magnetic and VLF-EM surveys. Highlighted results included the grab sample 1067922 grading 0.12 percent molybdenum (Kemp, R. (2017-07-13): National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on the Arlington Property).

In 2018, Clarmin Exploration Inc. completed a prospecting and soil sampling program on the Arlington property (Assessment Report 36956). The property was returned to Explorex Resources Inc. in late 2018.
