The Pakk 1 occurrence is located near the junction of the two main arms of Jack Creek, an east-flowing tributary of Hellroaring Creek, at an elevation of approximately 1500 metres.

The area is underlain by quartzite, wacke, argillite and siltstone of the Mesoproterozoic (Middle) Aldridge Formation (Purcell Supergroup), intruded by meta-gabbro or meta-diorite of the Proterozoic Moyie Intrusions.

Locally, at surface, a zone of albite alteration hosts galena mineralization. Diamond drilling has identified a gabbro with silicified and albitized sediments hosting minor calcite-quartz-garnet and epidote veinlets with minor pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite and trace galena and sphalerite mineralization. Concentrated irregular bands of pyrrhotite were also reported in the drillhole.

In 1999, drillhole P99-9 intercepted a calcite vein hosting pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite or skutterudite yielding 1.50 per cent arsenic and 3.60 grams per tonne gold over 0.10 metre (19.0 to 19.1 metre down hole; Assessment Report 26191).

Work History

In 1983, Noranda Mining and Exploration Inc. conducted an airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey on the area as part of the Mount Evans property.

In 1993 and 1994, Cominco completed 36.6 line-kilometres of electromagnetic surveying on the area as the Roar claims. In 1999, Chapleau Resources Ltd. completed a single, 535.7-metre, diamond drill hole (P99-9) in the area.

In 2010, the area was prospected by Electra Gold Ltd. as a part of the North Iron Range property.

In 2022, Amaroq Gold Corp. completed a 9.6 line-kilometre ground electromagnetic survey and a 303.0 line-kilometre airborne electromagnetic and radiometric survey on the area immediately north as the Sinclair and Golden Larch claims.
