The Stitt occurrence is located in the headwaters of Stitt Creek, approximately 6.5 kilometres west of Adamant Mountain.

Regionally, the area is underlain by undivided metamorphic rocks, coarse clastic rocks and calcareous sedimentary rocks (limestone, marble) of the Neoproterozoic Horsethief Creek Group, which have been intruded by granodioritic rocks of the Middle Jurassic Adamant Pluton.

Locally, three types of mineralization have been reported: 1) course clots and blebs of bornite and chalcopyrite ± magnetite with malachite and epidote hosted in pegmatitic quartz veins; 2) blebs of pyrite and chalcopyrite in a quartz diorite; and 3) minor pyrite, graphite and muscovite in a Neoproterozoic Horsethief Creek Group graphitic marble.

In 1989, two select samples (48801 and 48802) from talus boulders, up to 1.5 metres wide, of type 1 mineralization yielded 19.21 and 29.19 per cent copper with 185.9 and 290.3 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 20206).

Work History

In 1989, the area was prospected and sampled by Troymin Resources as the Stitt claims.
