The Coldwater 5 occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 1580 metres on a west-facing slope, west of the Coldwater River and approximately 700 metres northwest of the north end of Brook Lake.

The area is underlain by undivided volcanic rocks of the Lower Cretaceous Spences Creek Group and Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic dioritic intrusive rocks.

Locally, a quartz-veined andesite hosts pyrite mineralization.

In 2006, a float sample (K-R34) of banded chalcedonic quartz veining with trace fine pyrite, taken from Brook Creek approximately 4.5 kilometres northeast of the occurrence, assayed 11.23 grams per tonne gold and 17 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 28926).

In 2010, a grab sample (BM-11) from the occurrence assayed 44.4 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 32158).

Work History

During 2006 through 2008, Almaden Minerals Ltd. completed a program of prospecting, geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling and minor trenching on the area immediately south of the occurrence as the Brookmere property.

In 2010, Paul Hoogendoorn prospected and sampled the area as the Coldwater claims.

During 2011 through 2014, Vatic Ventures Corp. completed programs of geological mapping and geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling programs on the area immediately north and east of the occurrence as the BM property.
