Prospecting was carried out near Salmo and Ymir where the Cretaceous Anstey Pluton (granodiorite intrusive rock) is located nearby. Exploration in the area of the SHAWN 082FSW150 showing led to discovery of an 8 to 9 metre width of skarn near kilometer 23 on the Hidden Creek Road. Grab samples of bedrock and float samples were collected and analyzed. A total of four quartz veins (on the order of a meter wide) and one skarn were located with anomalous values in Au, Ag, Cu, Pb, W and Zn. The host bedrock is a grey banded quartzite exposed in a road cut which has 2-3 per cent pyrrhotite and dips steeply to the East. Veins a few metres in length and 0.3 to 1 metre wide are composed of grey cherty quartz with minor pyrite, sphalerite, galenta and rare chacopyrite. One vein grab sample flouresced under UV light and assayed 1.7 gram per tonne Au, 96 gram per tonne Ag, 0.07 per cent Cu, 3.98 per cent Pb, 0.143 per cent W and 4.1 per cent Zn (Assessment Report 31991).
