The Target E soil and Induced Polarization anomaly occurs along a 450-metre section of 50-metre spaced road soil sampling anomalies in the South Block of the Tahsis claim group. It is located 4.7 kilometres south of the village of Tahsis on the east side of Tahsis Inlet.

Target E lies within the Quatsino limestones with some interbedded Karmutsen basalts.

Work History

During 1981 through 1986, the property was explored by various companies. At this time, several programs were carried out involving heavy mineral sampling, rock and stream sediment geochemistry, 1:10,000 scale geological mapping and property wide rock chip sampling. In 2007, Grand Portage Resources Limited carried out a property wide program of silt and soil sampling, rock sampling, and limited airborne geophysical surveys. This work identified an anomalous zone of consistently elevated silt geochemical values within a 1.5 kilometre radius of the major north trending fault.

In 2011, Gold Ridge Exploration completed a regional geochemical sampling program on the Tahsis property.

In 2013, 2015 and 2016, Sojourn Ventures Inc. completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping and geochemical (rock, stream sediment and soil) sampling on the Tahsis property. The Target E soil anomaly was discovered in 2013 road sampling and confirmed in 2016 with a soil grid of low anomalous gold in soils.

In 2017, Qualitas Holdings Corp. completed a minor program of rock sampling on the Tahsis property. No significant values were generated over Target E. In 2018, 5.5 line-kilometres of Induced Polarization surveying over an existing logging road in the Target B and Target E areas identified areas of higher resistivity and coincidental chargeability highs.
