Capsule Geology

The Henning Creek showing occurs on the west bank of Lawless (Bear) Creek , 200 metres north-northeast of the mouth of Henning Creek and 10.5 kilometres northwest of the town of Tulameen.

Two trenches in Upper Triassic Nicola Group volcanics expose two quartz-carbonate veins striking northwest and slightly east of north. The veins are mineralized with small amounts of chalcopyrite and galena.

In 2016, a rock sample (R508) from an outcrop hosting quartz-carbonate veins with clots, veins and disseminated pyrite, located along Lawless Creek approximately 1 kilometre north of the Henning Creek occurrence, yielded 0.217 gram per tonne gold; a float sample (R501) with quartz-carbonate veining, taken from Lawless Creek a short distance south of the occurrence, yielded 0.322 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 36939).

Work History

In 1986, Fortress Resources Inc. completed a program of geological mapping, geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling, an airborne magnetometer and electromagnetic survey and a 9.4 line-kilometre ground magnetic and electromagnetic survey on the area as the Den claims.

In 2008 and 2009, Sydney Wilson completed programs of rock and soil sampling on the are as the Mount Spearing 1-3 claims.

During 2014 through 2018, Tech-X Resources Ltd. completed programs of geological mapping, geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling, 29.5 line-kilometres of induced polarization surveys and a 548.9 line-kilometre airborne magnetic survey and on the area as the Thinne and LC claims of the Lawless Creek property.
