The Manchester (L.1216) occurrence is located southeast of Guichon Creek, near the junction of Broom and Guichon creeks.

The area lies at the southeastern edge of the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Guichon Creek batholith where it intrudes Upper Triassic Nicola Group volcanic rocks. West of Guichon Creek, there are scattered outcrops of granodiorite and quartz diorite of the Highland Valley and Border phases, the oldest rocks in the batholith. To the east lie intermediate to mafic Upper Triassic Nicola Group volcanic rocks. The Manchester showing is covered by extensive glacial overburden.

In the bottom of a shaft, a 90 centimetre wide quartz band is mineralized with chalcocite and specular hematite.

Work History

A shaft, of unknown age, is reported on the occurrence.

In 1968, Bethlehem Copper completed a program of geological mapping on the area as the HC claims.

In 1973, a 10.4 line-kilometre ground magnetic and electromagnetic survey was completed on the area immediately south of the occurrence as the Lost claims.

In 2011, Lucas Handley prospected and sampled the area as the Aberdeen claims. The reported shaft could not be located at this time.

In 2014, Dot Resources Ltd. completed a program of geological mapping on the area immediately south of the occurrence as the Don 1 claim.
