The LM showing is on the west bank of Otter Creek, 3.75 kilometres west-southwest of the south end of Bluey Lake and 7.55 kilometres northwest of the north end of Missezula Lake.

Regionally, the area is underlain by the Upper Triassic Nicola Group, which regionally consists of alkalic and calc-alkalic volcanics and intrusions of island arc origin, and which is the principal component of the Quesnel Terrane in southern British Columbia (Geological Survey of Canada Maps 41-1989, 1713A). The area lies in the Central belt or facies of the Nicola Group (after Preto, Bulletin 69). This belt of rocks mainly consists of subaerial and submarine, red or purple to green augite plagioclase porphyritic andesitic and basaltic flows, volcanic breccia and tuff, and minor argillites and limestone. The volcanics are intruded by bodies of comagmatic diorite to monzonite of Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic age. The area is characterized by long-lived, primarily north-striking faults and related fracturing, which originally controlled intrusion emplacement. East-striking faults are subordinate, and commonly offset intrusive contacts.

Locally, a 4 to 5-centimetre thick fracture zone in andesite of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group (Central belt, Bulletin 69) is filled with brecciated andesite containing abundant malachite staining. The fracture zone strikes 175 degrees and dips 53 degrees west. It has been traced on surface for 12 metres.

In 1982, a chip sample (no. 20876) analysed 8.3 per cent copper, 0.0002 per cent molybdenum and 22.5 grams per tonne silver over 5 centimetres (Assessment Report 11197, page 4).

Work History

The occurrence was initially explored by a 3-metre long adit and several trenches excavated some time in the early 1900s.

In 1972, Grove Explorations completed a soil sampling program on the area as the WD group of claims. Also in 1972, Noranda Mining and Exploration Inc. completed a program of geological mapping, trenching and ground and airborne geophysical surveys on the area as the Bim, Boss, J, Lo, Gail and Tight claim groups of the Adonis property.

In 1982, Lornex Mining Corporation conducted geological, geophysical and soil geochemical surveys on the area as the LM 1-2 claims.

In 1990, Rayrock Yellowknife Resources Inc. and MineQuest Exploration Associated Ltd. completed a 56.2 line-kilometre induced polarization survey on the area as the Zig 1-4 and Zul 1-3 claims.

During 2014 through 2016, KZD Aspen Grove Holding Ltd. and Kaizen Discovery Inc. completed programs of prospecting and geological mapping on the surrounding area as the Aspen Grove property.
