The Elisir Mo occurrence is located on a south-flowing tributary of the Conuma River, approximately 2.8 kilometres north-northwest of the creek’s confluence with the river.

Regionally, the area is underlain by basaltic volcanic rocks of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation (Vancouver Group) that have been intruded by granodioritic rocks of the Lower to Middle Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite.

Locally, volcanic rocks host quartz veins with molybdenite mineralization.

In 2000, five rock samples (48323 through 48327) yielded from 0.010 to 0.416 per cent molybdenum, whereas a float breccia boulder sample (B48636), located approximately 2.7 kilometres southeast of the previous sample, yielded 0.387 per cent copper, 4.4 grams per tonne silver and 0.095 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 26394 and 32690).

In 2011, a mineralized quartz vein float sample (98626), located approximately 800 metres northwest of the occurrence, assayed 0.715 per cent copper, 13.0 grams per tonne silver and 1.69 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 32690).

In 2013, a sample (5396762) from a float boulder hosting quartz and sulphide veining, located approximately 2 kilometres south of the occurrence, assayed 0.238 per cent copper and 0.147 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 34400).

Work History

In 2000, the area was prospected and sample by Efrem Specogna as the Elisir claim. In 2011, Red Hut Metal Inc. completed a program of prospecting, geological mapping, geochemical (rock and silt) sampling and a 128.0 line-kilometre airborne magnetic survey on the area as the Conuma property. In 2013 and 2014, Red Hut Metals Inc. completed further programs of prospecting and geochemical (rock, soil and silt) sampling on the property.
