The Ryan 4 occurrence is located on a northwest facing slope of an ice field and south of the Ryan River.

The area is underlain mainly by plutonic rocks of the Jurassic to Tertiary Coast Plutonic Complex.

Locally, disseminated to massive chalcopyrite and molybdenite mineralization are hosted in a hornfelsed granodiorite.

In 1982, samples assayed up to 0.16 per cent lead, 0.17 per cent molybdenum, 0.60 per cent copper, 24.5 grams per tonne silver and 0.65 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 10905).

Work History

In 1973, Orequest prospected and mapped the area as the Ski claims, Ryan property. During 1979 through 1983, Great Western Petroleum completed a program of geological mapping, geochemical sampling and airborne geophysical surveys on the area as the Spectrum claims. During 2004 through 2007, TTM Resources completed a program of geological mapping, geochemical sampling and airborne geophysical surveys on the area as the Molygold project. During 2016 through 2018, Ridgeline Exploration, on the behalf of Rain Resources Corp., completed a program of rock and soil sampling and an airborne magnetic survey on the area as the Southern Spectrum property.
