The Rogers Creek (Target I-NW) occurrence is located north of Rogers Creek, approximately 11 kilometres north-northeast of the creek mouth.

The area is underlain by granodioritic rocks the Miocene Rogers Creek Stock and by sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Lower Cretaceous Gambier Group.

Locally, a widespread area exhibits propylitic (pyrite-carbonate-chlorite-epidote) alteration hosting several stages or styles of primary mineralization including:

1.) Wide spaced quartz-pyrite-chalcopyrite +/- bornite bearing B- and D-veins.

2.) Quartz-pyrite-chalcopyrite bearing A- and B- veins.

3.) Disseminated quartz-pyrite-chalcopyrite and quartz-pyrite-chalcopyrite veins and veinlets associated with zones of pervasive chlorite-sericite alteration.

Mineralization is reported to be primarily controlled by northwest (320 to 340 degree) trending structures, particularly near their intersection with 020 degrees trending structures.

The primary mineralization is cut by a large post mineral breccia pip which over prints the earlier mineralization. Late stage polymetallic (quartz-pyrite-chalcopyrite-galena-sphalerite-tetrahedrite) and sulphide-sulphate veins assemblages are reported to be present with in the breccia pipe.

In 2010, rocks samples yielded up to 0.6 per cent copper, 23.1 grams per tonne gold and 232 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 33007).

In 2012, a rock sample (87625J) from a 2- to 3-centimetre-wide D-style vein hosting 50 per cent pyrite and chalcopyrite assayed 14.1 grams per tonne gold, 173 grams per tonne silver and 0.549 per cent copper (Wood, P.C. (2013-12-31): 2013 Technical Summary Report on the Rogers Creek Property).

Work History

In 1983, Placer Development completed a program of rock, silt and soil sampling on the area as the Cloud claim. In 1985, Noranda completed a program of geological mapping and rock and soil sampling on the area as the RC 1-2 claims.

During 2007 through 2009, Wallbridge Mining Company completed programs of rock, silt and soil sampling, geological mapping and airborne and ground geophysical surveys on the area as the Roger Creek property.

During 2010 through 2012, Miocene Metals completed programs of rock, silt and soil sampling and airborne geophysical surveys.

During 2013 through 2017, Carube Copper Corp. examined the area as the Rogers Creek property. In 2015, a program of soil sampling was completed on the I and IV zones and a 6 line-kilometre induced polarization survey was completed on the I zone. In 2016, a reconnaissance soil sampling program was performed along a newly build logging road in the area.
