The Survey Mountain showing is located on Survey Mountain, approximately 4.5 kilometres south east of Weeks Lake.
The area is underlain by the Chert-Argillite- Volcanic Unit of the Jurassic to Cretaceous Leech River Complex (Formation), (Geological Survey of Canada Map 1553A). An extensive gossan zone occurs along the crest of the Survey Mountain ridge. The zone is generally less than 4 metres wide and may extend for up to 1 kilometre in length. The gossan zone is hosted in mafic pillowed flows and breccias, and locally it is associated with and conformable to a thin graphitic argillite unit.
The sulphide mineralogy includes pyrite, pyrrhotite and trace amounts of chalcopyrite and possibly sphalerite. The sulphides are disseminated and comprise 5 to 15 per cent of the rock. Massive sulphides were observed in large irregular blocks near the peak of Survey Mountain, near the southern outcrop of the gossan zone. Massive sulphide samples contain up to 60 per cent pyrite and pyrrhotite which occurs in irregular veins and veinlets. Gangue minerals include quartz and possibly calcite and chlorite.
In 1980 and 1981, Gulf Minerals Canada completed a program of silt sampling, geological mapping and ground geophysical surveys on the area as the Sooke claim. Several samples from the gossan zone were analyzed for gold but values did not exceed 0.02 gram per tonne. At this time a gold-rich sulphide float sample was collected along the west slope of the Survey Mountain ridge and assayed 8.23 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 10278, page 11). The source of the float was not found.
In 1989, Noranda and Beau Pre Explorations completed a program of geochemical sampling and geological mapping on the area as the Wolf 1-8 claims.
