The Whiskey Jack occurrence is located on a northwest-facing slope, a short distance northeast of the historical Annie G. (L.6339) Crown-granted claim and approximately 4.0 kilometres south-southwest of White Grouse Mountain.

Regionally, the area is underlain by siltstones, quartzites, dolomites and phyllites of the Proterozoic Aldridge, Creston and Kitchener formations of the Purcell Supergroup, intruded by a small quartz monzonite stock, possibly Cretaceous. Buff dolomites, white-grey quartzites and minor argillites of the Kitchener Formation have a northward strike and dip moderately to steeply west. The Lower Creston Formation consists mainly of laminated to thickly bedded argillites and siltites with minor fine-grained quartz wackes. The rocks are waxy green to olive in colour with tan-weathering surfaces, wavy bedding and abundant mudcracks. Rocks of the Upper Aldridge, underlying an area to the east, consist of a relatively homogeneous unit with occasional thin interbeds of light grey quartzite and laminated light and dark grey argillaceous quartzite. The intrusive stock consists of medium- to fine-grained massive biotite monzogranite. The sediments adjacent to the intrusion have been altered to produce concentric zones of biotite hornfels and siliceous siltstone.

Locally, a buff dolomite near its contact with a granite intrusive hosts thin quartz veins with galena and minor sphalerite and molybdenite mineralization.

Work History

In 1980, the area was prospected as part of the White Grouse property by Gerhardi Holdings Ltd.

In 1985, Lacana Mining prospected and sampled the area as the Whiskey Jack claim. A rock sample (LWR-004) of mineralized quartz vein assayed 0.02 per cent molybdenum, 1.44 per cent lead, 0.18 per cent zinc, 46.5 grams per tonne silver and 0.54 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 14125).

In 2006, Aeroquest Limited carried out an airborne geophysical survey on the area as the Storm King property, owned by Jasper Mining Corporation and held under option by Dynamic Exploration Limited. In total, 96.2 line-kilometres of electromagnetic, magnetic and radiometric surveys were flown over the property.

In 2010, Kootenay Gold Inc. conducted a minor program of prospecting and rock sampling and the area as the Slocanny Granny property. Fjordland Exploration Incorporated optioned the property later that year.

In 2011, Fjordland Exploration completed a program of soil sampling on the South Slocanny Granny property.
