The Dill 7 occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 1460 metres on a northeast facing slope, south of Dillard Creek and approximately 6.6 kilometres east-northeast of the south end of Missezula Lake.

The area east of Dillard Lake is largely underlain by andesitic to basaltic flows and pyroclastics of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group (Eastern Belt, Bulletin 69). These volcanics are intruded by small bodies and dikes of diorite and syenite that may be comagmatic with the volcanics. To the east, granitic intrusive rocks of the Middle Jurassic Osprey Lake Batholith are exposed.

Locally, the type of mineralization is not described.

In 1989, a rock sample (9DB-23R) assayed 0.106 gram per tonne gold, 17.7 grams per tonne silver and 0.641 per cent copper, whereas another sample (9EB-01R), located approximately 1.9 kilometres northwest of the previous sample yielded 0.167 per cent copper and 3.8 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 19593).

Work History

During 1987 through 1991, Fairfield Minerals Ltd. completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping, geochemical (rock and soil) sampling, trenching and ground geophysical surveys on the area as the Dill property.

On August 31, 2011, Fjordland Exploration Inc. signed an option agreement with private vendors to purchase 100 per cent interest in the 2200-hectare Dillard claims. Later that year, Fjordland completed a program of prospecting and rock sampling.

In 2012, Fjordland Exploration Inc. completed a 11.0 line-kilometre induced polarization survey and a 23.3 line-kilometre ground magnetic survey on the area as the Dillard property.

In 2013, Fjordland Exploration Inc. completed a 293.0 line-kilometre airborne magnetic and radiometric survey, a 45.3 line-kilometre ground magnetic and induced polarization survey and seven diamond drill holes, totalling 2636.1 metres, on the Dillard property.

In 2014, Fjordland Exploration Inc. completed a program of geological mapping, soil sampling, trenching and 14 diamond drill holes, totalling 5305.0 metres, on the Dillard property. The following year, a program of prospecting, geological mapping and rock sampling was completed on the property.
