The Larry claim is located between Crouse Creek and the Kettle River, approximately 15 kilometres southeast of Beaverdell. Since 1997, Probe Resources Ltd. has owned and completed a number of geological, geophysical and geochemical survey programs on the property. Previous work on the property and area is summarized in Assessment Report 29255.
The Larry claim is underlain by dominantly altered mafic metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks of the late Paleozoic Wallace Group within the north-trending Rock Creek graben. Numerous mafic to intermediate dikes and small stocks of the middle Jurassic Nelson plutonic suite intrude the Wallace Group. The graben is bounded by steep normal faults and, beginning in Eocene time, was filled with a thick accumulation of conglomerate and sandstone of the Kettle River Formation and alkalic volcanic rocks of the overlying Marron Formation. Occasional syenite dikes of the Eocene Coryell plutonic suite cut all other lithologies.
Mineralization is reported to be similar to that of Camp McKinney. These are hosted in schists of the Anarchist series (Wallace Formation) and contain quartz veins mineralized with pyrite accompanied by galena and zinc, carrying gold values.
The Northeast Zone, an area of 300 by 600 metres, consists of a greenstone breccia within a dacite hosting, finely disseminated pyrite. Mineralization of malachite, azurite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, and chlorite is also noted. Trench samples have returned values up to 2.21 per cent copper and 5.33 per cent iron (Assessment Report 27236).
The North Central zone, occurs approximately 100 metres to the southeast. Locally, an area 6 metres wide by 200 metres long, of north-northeast trending shearing hosts lenses and veinlets of pyrite- bearing quartz -carbonate. In 2003, grab samples returned values up 1197 parts per million gold with elevated values of mercury, arsenic and silver (Assessment Report 27236).
