The Vulcan (BRVUR002) occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 2360 metres on roughly north-south–trending ridge saddle, west of White Creek and approximately 4 kilometres south-southwest of Jurak Lake.

The area is underlain by argillite, quartzwackes, quartz arenites, and siltstones of the lower and middle Aldridge Formation. The sediments in the area have been folded into a northwest-striking anticline. Diorite sills and dikes of the Proterozoic Moyie Intrusions intrude the strata.

Locally, quartz±carbonate veins are hosted in a gabbro (Moyie) sill or dike located near the lower–middle Aldridge Formation contact.

In 2020, three grab samples (BRVUR002, TTVUR015 and TTVUR017) from gabbro-hosted quartz veins assayed up to 0.7 gram per tonne gold, 0.333 per cent zinc and 0.211 per cent copper, whereas two nearby float samples (JCVUR006 and TTVUR007) of galena±sphalerite–bearing quartz vein hosted in gabbro yielded 88.6 and 286 grams per tonne silver and 1.8 and 5.2 per cent lead, respectively, with values of up to 0.7 per cent zinc and greater than 0.01 per cent tungsten (Ransom, P., Kenwood, S. [2021-02-01]: NI 43-101 Technical Report, Vulcan Property).

Work History

In 2020, Eagle Plains completed a program of prospecting, geochemical (rock, soil and silt) sampling and two diamond drill holes, totalling 975.2 metres, with borehole electromagnetic surveys on the area as the Vulcan property.
