The Coquigold South (D zone) occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 1320 metres on a southwest-facing slope, approximately 5.7 kilometres southwest of Selish Mountain.

Regionally, the area is underlain by undivided volcanic rocks of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group, which have been intruded by granodioritic and quartz dioritic rocks of the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Coldwater pluton.

Locally, at the D zone, a 125- by 50-metre area of limonite-hematite-quartz–altered fractured and brecciated quartz diorite has been identified. Fine-grained quartz veins are noted locally, and fine quartz crystals occur on breccia fragments. Limonite often occurs as fracture and breccia fill. Rare pyrite occurs in local zones of pervasive silicification, and minor malachite is also reported.

Another area of interest, referred to as the XYZ zone, is located approximately 3 kilometres northwest of the D zone and comprises banded or bedded siliceous rocks (sinter) occurring within outcrops of porphyritic basalt. A historic trench of unknown age is reported on this zone.

Work History

In 2018, 2019, and 2020, Cariboo Rose Resources Ltd. completed a program of geological mapping and geochemical (rock and soil) sampling on the area as the Coquigold South property. Sampling of the D zone yielded values of up to 43.1 grams per tonne silver, 0.259 per cent lead and 0.093 per cent copper, whereas sampling of the XYZ zone yielded up to 0.079 per cent copper and 0.082 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 38400).
