The Paget Northeast (Hauk Creek) occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 670 metres on an east-southeast–facing slope, northwest of Fawn Creek and approximately 2.5 kilometres north-northwest of Mount Sutton.

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.

Locally, a quartz vein hosts chalcopyrite and magnetite with possible rhodonite.

In 2019, a rock sample (07-D) of mineralized quartz vein material assayed 0.07 gram per tonne gold, 40.6 grams per tonne silver and greater than 1.00 per cent copper (Assessment Report 38920).

Work History

In 1969, Quintana Mines conducted a regionally extensive program of geological mapping and geochemical (rock and soil) sampling on the area as the Tana property.

In 1980, Union Miniere completed a program of soil sampling and prospecting on the area as the Lui claim.

In 2013, 2019 and 2021, the area was prospected and sampled as the Annular and Hauk Creek claims by Dean Arbic.
