The Mount Redford (Seamus zone) occurrence is located on the eastern slopes of Mount Redford, approximately 1.1 kilometres southeast of Redford Lake and 17 kilometres northeast of Ucluelet, B.C.
The area is predominantly underlain by altered outcrops of fine to medium grained diorite and granodiorite of the Jurassic Island Intrusive Suite. Minor amounts of fine-grained volcanics are locally cut by syn-mineralization Tertiary feldspar porphyry dikes and later barren dikes.
Mineralization occurs as pervasive replacement, stockworks and sheeted veins of arsenopyrite with variable amounts of albite, sericite, chlorite, biotite and quartz alteration. The veinlets are fracture controlled and millimetres to several centimetres thick. Shear zones vary from several centimetres to 25 centimetres wide. The zone is reportedly poorly defined but is at least 2200 metres by 3400 metres in size.
In 1996, rock sampling assayed values up to 3,210 parts per billion gold with a number of other samples yielding values greater than 1,000 parts per billion gold (Property File - Consolidated Logan Mines Ltd. (1998-01-01): News Releases - Lucky Property). In 2004, diamond drilling intersected gold grades of 1.18 grams per tonne over 1 metre (Assessment Report 27530).
During 1995 through 2009, Consolidated Logan Mines Limited, and later Logan Resources Limited, completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping, geochemical sampling, an induced polarization survey and a six-hole diamond drill program, totalling 928.9 metres, on the Lucky and Redford properties.
In 2011, Logan Resources Ltd. and joint venture partner Ridgemont Iron Ore Corp. conducted ground geophysics (including Mount Redford) and drilling over the Redford property. The 2011 Ridgemont diamond drill program, east of Draw Creek and the Brynnor Pit, consisted of 61 holes totalling 10, 234.58 metres utilizing 29 drill pads. The program coverage was categorized into three zones: the Main, East and North zones. The drill results from the East zone confirmed that magnetite mineralization was similar in strike and dip to that found in the Main zone.
