The Cat occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 1500 metres on the eastern slopes of Stoyoma Mountain.

Regionally, the area is underlain by Permian to Lower Jurassic dioritic intrusive rocks, Upper Jurassic tonalite intrusive rocks and Middle Cretaceous granitic intrusive rocks.

Locally, as defined by diamond drilling, a granodiorite gneiss hosts minor disseminated pyrite and malachite-azurite staining associated with more felsic sections.

Work History

In 1983, a single diamond drill hole, totalling 161 metres, was completed on the area as the Cat claim. Drilling intercepts included two sections grading 1.4 grams per tonne gold over 1.2 and 3.3 metres (42.4 to 43.6 and 48.8 to 52.1 metres down hole), respectively and 1.1 grams per tonne gold with 159.7 grams per tonne silver over 1.2 metres (138.7 to 139.9 metres down hole; Assessment Report 11484).
