The BORNITE SOUTH EAST occurrence is located on an alpine ridge 500m northwest of Ipoo Mountain and 600 metres southwest of Tillicum Mountain in the Dickson Range at an elevation of approximately 2400 metres. The site is north of Bridge River approximately 30 kilometres west of the village of Gold Bridge.
The area is underlain by biotite-hornblende-quartz-diorite of the Hurley River Pluton, which is assigned to the Late Cretaceous Scuzzy Plutonic Suite of the Coast Batholith, near the western edge of the quartz monzonite Miocene-age Bridge River Pluton. The property hosts scattered, potential porphyry Cu-Au related mineralization along at least three greater than 7-kilometre long northwest structural trends over an area of 15 kilometres. From west to east, the trends are referred to as the Bornite Trend, Tillworth Trend and Breccia Trend. The Bornite South East occurrence is at the southeast end of the Bornite Trend.
The Bornite Trend consists of scattered quartz veins hosting bornite, chalcocite, magnetite and lesser chalcopyrite and tetrahedrite as veins and stringers up to 0.2 metre wide and over an open-ended strike length of 7.5 kilometres.
In 2012, a grab sample (M487886) from the Bornite South East showing assayed 0.98 per cent copper, 1.28 per cent lead, 1.00 per cent antimony and 4170 grams per tonne silver, while another grab sample (M487887) from a short distance to the southeast assayed 0.132 gram per tonne gold, 1.92 per cent copper and 315 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 33341).
In 2010, Miocene Metals Inc. optioned the property and completed 1227 line-kilometres of combined airborne magnetic and gamma ray spectrometer surveys over area. The following year, a minor rock sampling program was completed. In 2012, Miocene Metals Inc. expanded the Mackenzie property from 36.3 square kilometres to 299.03 square kilometres, and followed the expansion with a program of geochemical sampling and a two-hole drill program. Sampling in the west led to the discovery of the Bornite Trend; sampling to the north led to the extension of the Tillworth Trend, and sampling in the northeast identified the Breccia Trend. The drill program focused on the MacKenzie showing, 5 kilometres northeast of Bornite South East. Miocene's exploration focus in 2013 was on the Bornite Trend.
From 2015 through 2018 Carube Copper Corp's exploration efforts of mapping, geochemical sampling and an airborne magnetic radiometric survey focused on the Bornite Trend and then in 2019 focus was on area within the Bornite Trend and also areas of the Breccia Trend. The Breccia Trend was again the focus in 2022 under the newly named Mount Olympus property, operated by PrometheX Ltd.
