The Arrastra showing is located north of Canoe Creek, approximately 850 metres from its mouth and at an elevation of about 370 metres.
The area is underlain by Karmutsen Formation volcanics of the Upper Triassic Vancouver Group are intruded by the Early to Middle Jurassic Island Intrusions consisting of granodiorite to quartz diorite. The Karmutsen rocks consist of andesitic to basaltic flows, tuffs and volcaniclastics. Northwest trending fault/shear zones of Tertiary age cut the rocks.
Locally, there is an 8 to 12 centimetre wide quartz vein, striking north 060 degrees east and dipping 70 degrees to the northwest. The ore mineralogy is not reported. In 1984, two samples of the vein assayed 9.8 and 12.9 grams per tonne gold and a 20 centimetre float sample collected down slope of the vein assayed 175.1 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 14279).
The area has been explored since the late 1800’s as the Kennedy Gold Camp, with most exploration activities centred on the Tommy and Bear veins (MINFILE 092F 044). In 1984 and 1985, Int. Phoenix Energy, and later Teck Expl., completed programs of geochemical sampling, geological mapping, trenching and ground magnetic and electromagnetic surveys. In 2009 and 2010, G4G Resources Limited completed a program of prospecting and remote sensing, consisting of spectral analysis and synthetic aperture radar analyses, on the area as the G4G property.
