The Ryan 2 (Cu-Zn-Au Zone) is located in steep, south facing, creek gully, north of Petersen Creek, at an elevation of approximately 1500 metres.

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

Locally, felsic tuff and granodiorite hosts quartz veins and limonite staining with pyrite, pyrrhotite and minor chalcopyrite-malachite.

In 2006, rock samples (B184058 to B184084) assayed up to 0.465 per cent copper, 0.266 per cent zinc and 1.33 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 27699).

Work History

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.
