The AB showing is located on a north-facing slope, south of Cowichan Lake and approximately 6.4 kilometres southeast of the Community of Caycuse.

Regionally, the area is underlain by extensively faulted rocks of the Upper Triassic Vancouver Group and the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group. The basal Vancouver Group sequence is comprised of basalt flows, breccias and tuffs of the Karmutsen Formation overlain by Quatsino Formation limestone, which in turn is overlain by black argillites of the Parsons Bay Formation. The overlying Bonanza Group consists of a sequence of argillites, cherts, cherty tuffs, volcanic and/or sedimentary breccias, sandstones and basaltic to rhyolitic flows. The overall package of rocks has been broadly to tightly folded with fold axes generally trending northwest and intruded by granodioritic and feldspar porphyritic dikes and bodies of the Early to Middle Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite. At lower elevations, locally around Cowichan Valley, undivided sedimentary rocks of the Upper Cretaceous Nanaimo Group overlay the previous units.

Locally, chalcopyrite, pyrite and chalcocite mineralization are reported to be associated with volcanic rocks. No other information is available.

Approximately 850 metres to the northwest of the plotted location of the occurrence a contact between a limestone and volcanic rock hosts disseminations and veinlets of chalcopyrite and pyrite mineralization.

Work History

In 2014 and 2018, the area immediately north was prospected and sampled as the Caycuse & Friends and Andy claims. A rock sample from the northwest contact zone assayed 0.166 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 34893).

During 2020 through 2024, programs of prospecting, geochemical (rock, silt and soil) and biogeochemical sampling, spectral analysis/remote sensing and a 3.0 line-kilometre ground magnetic survey were conducted on the area as the Cowichan property by Darcy Vis.
