The Syackan occurrence is located about 2.75 kilometres east- southeast of the Old Nick (082ESW055) occurrence. The occurrence is found at about 558 metres elevation, immediately north of the old railway grade and south of highway No. 3. Bridesville, British Columbia lies 7.5 kilometres to the west-northwest.
An old adit and opencut were located at the Syackan occurrence, indicating previous mineral exploration. The Syackan occurrence is, located on the northern portion of the Ket 27 claim, was owned by Crown Resources Corp. from 1991 to 1993. The property is currently held by the Rock Creek Gold Trend Venture, with partners Phoenix Gold Resources Ltd., Orion International Minerals Inc. and Gold City Mining Corp.
Limestone and marble along the contact between diorite and granodiorite of the Middle Jurassic Nelson intrusions and lithologies of the Permian to Carboniferous Anarchist Group comprise hostrocks of the Syackan occurrence. Greenstone, argillite, conglomerate, limestone, marble, quartzite and minor siltstone comprise other Anarchist Group lithologies in the area. Several northwest-trending augite porphyry dikes also crosscut the Anarchist metasedimentary- metavolcanic sequence.
Lithologies of the Ket 5 Group, surrounding the Syackan occurrence, consists of mainly metasediments and metavolcanics of the Permian to Carboniferous Anarchist Group. To the north, massive quartzite dominates. Locally, the quartzite is intensely fractured and silicified and contains lenses of serpentinite. To the south black silicified argillite with minor siltstone and greenstone occur.
The major structures in the area are faults striking north, east or northwest, separating the Anarchist Group into discrete fault blocks. A strong foliation, bleaching and phyllitic to mylonitic fabrics are associated with north striking faults. The Anarchist Group metasediment-metavolcanic sequence has been intruded by diorite and granodiorite of the Middle Jurassic Nelson intrusions. To the east, the sequence is overlain by conglomerate, sandstone and minor phonolite, trachyte and trachyandesite of the Eocene Penticton Group.
Skarn has been discovered in limestone and marble of the Anarchist Group. Skarn mineralization includes poorly formed almandine garnet, pyroxene, quartz, pyrite, pyrrhotite and rare chalcopyrite. An old adit was discovered collared in this skarn.
To date, samples have not yielded significant metal values. The best assay results were from a 2-metre chip sample, sample 91KT27:D54R. This sample yielded 0.074 per cent copper and 0.058 per cent lead (Assessment Report 22176).
During 2008 through 2012, Grizzly Discoveries Inc. completed programs of geochemical (rock, stream sediment and soil) sampling, geological mapping and airborne and ground geophysical surveys on the Dayton-Sidley area of the Greenwood Property.
