The Liger South showing is located on Sommerfeld Ridge, south of Leadville Creek, approximately 24.5 kilometres northeast of Creston. The showing has been explored since 2010 by Fjordland Resources Ltd. as a part of the Big Kahuna property. Previous work was completed by a local prospector, Craig Kennedy, during the 1990’s and later Kootenay Gold Inc.

Regionally, the area is underlain by clastic sediments of the Middle Aldridge and Creston Formations, part of the Proterozoic Belt–-Purcell Supergroup. A sequence of possible Cambrian age shallow water sediments has been mapped in the north-central portion of Leadville Creek. Structure in the area is dominated by the northwest trending Leadville Creek Fault and northeast trending Old Baldy Fault.

Gold mineralization is recorded as occurring in a goethite-stained quartz and argillically altered quartz vein bearing sediments of Middle Aldridge Formation.

Work History

During 2009, 25 rock samples were collected from the showing. The highest values came from samples MK09 108 at 4561 parts per billion gold, MK09 109 at 2609.1 parts per billion gold, MK09 111 at 939 parts per billion gold, MK09 112 at 431 parts per billion gold and 812 parts per million lead, and SK09-111 at 825.4 parts per billion gold and 1947 parts per million lead (Assessment Report 31586).

In 2019, DLP Resources Inc. completed a program of geological mapping on the area as the JR and RJ properties.
