The Angel 2 North occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 550 metres on a northeast-facing slope on southern Texada Island and approximately 3.8 kilometres east 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, an area of quartz-carbonate veining or alteration hosting pyrite and arsenopyrite in a feldspar phyric basalt is exposed in small creek canyon.

In 1988, a chip sample (XR32351) from the occurrence area assayed 0.17 gram per tonne gold, 38.4 grams per tonne silver with elevated copper, zinc, lead, antimony and arsenic values over 0.6 metre, and another chip sample (XR32344) from an area of similar mineralization located approximately 350 metres to the east yielded 0.21 gram per tonne gold over 0.3 metre (Assessment Report 18671).

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 as the Dude-Tak properties. The following year, a prospecting program and a 500.0-hectare remote sensing (gamma-ray) survey was conducted.

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.
