The Angel 2 South occurrence is located near the north end of Angel Lake on southern Texada Island and approximately 3.5 kilometres east-southeast of Mount Davies.

Regionally, the area is underlain by undivided sedimentary rocks of the Mississippian to Lower Permian Nanoose Complex (Buttle Lake Group), limestone, marble and calcareous sedimentary rocks of the Middle to Upper Triassic Quatsino Formation (Vancouver Group) and basaltic volcanics of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation (Vancouver Group). The sedimentary and volcanic rocks have been intruded by granodioritic rocks of the Early to Middle Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite.

Locally, pyrite, arsenopyrite and malachite are associated with a fractured and limonite-carbonate–altered shear zone cutting pillow basalts and tuffs.

In 1988, a rock sample (XR32311) assayed 0.63 gram per tonne gold, 6.3 grams per tonne silver and 1.15 per cent arsenic, whereas other samples (XR32327, XR32340, XR32763), taken from approximately 250 to 350 metres to the north and northeast, yielded values of up to 0.32 gram per tonne gold, 17.3 grams per tonne silver, 0.11 per cent zinc and 0.47 per cent copper (Assessment Report 18671).

In 2022, a grab sample (62274) of basalt hosting quartz-arsenopyrite veining up to 5 centimetres wide, located approximately 350 metres to the east-southeast of the occurrence, assayed 0.98 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 40479).

Work History

In 1985, Cariboo Gold Corp. conducted a program of rock and soil sampling on the area as the Long B claims. In 1987, a program of trenching, geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling and a 3.8 line-kilometre self-potential survey was conducted on the area as the Frisky claims. In 1988, Echo Bay Mines entered into a joint venture with Rhyolite Resources Inc. who then completed a program of prospecting, geological mapping, trenching and geochemical (rock, silt, soil and heavy mineral) sampling on the area as the Angel property.

In 2007, Northstar Mining Ltd. conducted a 2257.6-hectare remote sensing (spectral analysis) program on the area immediately west as the Dude-Tak properties. The following year, a prospecting program and a 500.0-hectare remote sensing (gamma-ray) survey was conducted. In 2009, a further 167.0-hectare remote sensing (spectral analysis) survey was conducted on the area immediately south as the Tak 2 claim.

In 2013, Northstar Mining Ltd. conducted a 19 000-hectare remote sensing (spectral analysis) survey on the area as part of the regionally extensive Texada Island property. In 2014 and 2015, Northstar Mining Ltd. conducted a geological interpretation program to identify future target areas for exploration on the Texada Island property.

During 2022 through 2024 Quadra Coastal Resources Ltd. conducted programs of prospecting, geochemical (rock and soil) sampling, LIDAR data reprocessing and a total of 553.2 line-kilometres of airborne magnetic surveys on the Texada Island property.
