The Scarlett Gold (Jewelry Box and Boom Box) occurrences are located at approximately 240 to 260 metres elevation on an east-southeast–facing slope, east of Alouette Lake and approximately 300 metres southwest of the west side of Pine Lake.

The area is underlain by quartz dioritic rocks of the Middle to Upper Jurassic Coast Plutonic Complex.

Locally, two zones (Jewelry Box and Boom Box) of gold-bearing quartz veins with sphalerite, pyrite, galena, chalcopyrite, bornite and electrum have been identified in quartz diorite and/or tonalite. Very fine-grained native gold particles have been precipitated along the boundaries between sphalerite and chalcopyrite and/or galena. Gold also occurs as inclusions within fractured pyrite and along the boundaries between the pyrite and quartz host. Alteration minerals include (white) mica, chlorite, biotite, amphibole, epidote and rutile. The Boom Box zone is located approximately 100 metres north-northeast of the Jewelry Box zone.

In 2009, a 0.5-metre chip sample (H540807) from the Jewelry Box vein assayed 33.60 grams per tonne gold, 19.4 grams per tonne silver and 0.25 per cent copper (New Target Mining Corp. [2021-01-11]: Technical Report on the Scarlett Gold Property, New Westminster Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada, NTS Map 092G).

In 2020, two samples (E5667063 and E5667064) from the Jewelry Box vein assayed 253.86 and 275.16 grams per tonne gold, 90.9 and 56.3 grams per tonne silver, 0.67 and 0.51 per cent copper, 11.40 and 6.77 per cent lead with 5.38 and 4.64 per cent zinc, respectively, whereas a channel sample (S194913) yielded 50.94 grams per tonne gold and 0.383 per cent copper over 0.70 metre (New Target Mining Corp. [2021-01-11]: Technical Report on the Scarlett Gold Property, New Westminster Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada, NTS Map 092G). Also at this time, a sample (E5667065) from the Boom Box vein assayed 53.63 grams per tonne gold, 18.4 grams per tonne silver and 0.48 per cent copper, whereas channel samples (S195411 through S195421) yielded an average of 9.67 grams per tonne gold over 4.00 metres (New Target Mining Corp. [2021-01-11]: Technical Report on the Scarlett Gold Property, New Westminster Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada, NTS Map 092G).

Work History

In 2009, Chai Cha Na Mining Inc. prospected and sampled the area.

In 2020, New Target Mining Corp. completed a program of prospecting, geological mapping and geochemical (rock and soil) sampling on the area as the Scarlett Gold property.
