The Stellar 2 occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 1520 metres on a south-facing slope, north of Mable Creek and approximately

Regionally, the area is underlain by the Graffunder Lakes, Skwaam Bay and Slate Creek units of the upper Paleozoic to lower Cambrian Eagle Bay Assemblage, which consist of micaceous quartzite, sericite-quartz schist, mudstone, siltstone, shale and calc-alkaline volcanic rocks. Local foliation strikes 135 degrees with a 5-degree northeast dip. The Cretaceous Baldy Batholith, consisting of quartz monzonitic intrusive rocks, lies to the north.

Locally, layered and stratiform sulphide mineralization has been exposed in a road cut. Sulphides are reported to include chalcopyrite, bornite and pyrite with hematite.

In 2012, a channel sample (203537) assayed 0.269 per cent copper over 1.0 by 1.0 by 2.0 metres, whereas four rock samples yielded from 2.0 to 3.2 grams per tonne silver, 0.262 to 0.451 per cent copper (Assessment Report 33322).

Work History

The area has been explored in conjunction with the nearby Percy (MINFILE 082M 219) and Fortuna 1 (MINFILE 082M 072) occurrences and a complete exploration history of the area can be found there.

In 1984, Noranda Mining and Exploration Inc. completed a ground magnetic and electromagnetic survey on the area as the BC 1 claim.

In 2011 and 2012, the area was prospected and (rock, silt and soil) sampled as the Stellar 2 claim.
