The location of the BJ showing on Klaklowuck Creek is uncertain from descriptions given.

The area is underlain by granodiorites of the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Guichon Creek Batholith.

Locally, a small, isolated limestone outcrop (probable xenolith) partially altered to wollastonite within Border phase quartz diorite. Possible bedding in the limestone dips 69 degrees. A small veinlet of chalcopyrite occurs within the xenolith. Possible bedding dips 069 degrees. Trace malachite occurs to the south.

Work History

In 1958, Northwestern Explorations Ltd. completed a program of geological mapping, soil sampling and a 45.5 line-kilometre ground magnetic survey and induced polarization survey on the area as the BJ claims.

In 2006, Tanqueray Resources Ltd., on the behalf of Strongbow Exploration Inc., completed a program of rock, silt and soil sampling on the area as the Pima property.

During late 2008 through 2012, Happy Creek Minerals completed programs of geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling, geological mapping, three diamond drill hole, totalling 740.9 metres, an induced polarization survey and a 1463.0 line-kilometre airborne gamma ray spectrometer and magnetic survey on the area as the West Valley property.

Also During 2011 through 2013, Qualitas Holdings Corp. completed programs of rock, silt and soil sampling, a 5.0 line-kilometre induced polarization survey and a 61.7 line-kilometre ground electromagnetic survey on the area immediately west of the occurrence as the PC 1-5 claims.

During 2013 through 2019, Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. completed programs of geological mapping, geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling, a 32.3 line-kilometre induced polarization survey and re-interpretating historical airborne geophysical data on the area as apart of the Rateria-West Valley property.
