The FS showing is located on a south facing slope, approximately 900 metres west of Brown Bay.
The area is underlain by a very thick gently dip- ping to flat-lying sequence of Upper Triassic submarine volcanic flows of the Karmutsen Formation. Locally minor interflow sediments occur.
Locally, a 6 metre wide north trending limestone-filled channel occurs at the base of a pillowed flow; the maximum exposed thickness is approximately 30 centimetres. The fine-grained, fossiliferous and limy sediment contains inconspicuous, very lightly disseminated bornite mineralization. Malachite and azurite occurs along exposed surfaces and sometimes coats late fracture plane surfaces in the massive, amygdaloidal volcanic flow. Bornite/malachite mineralization also occurs elsewhere along the thin (less than 30 centimetres) fractured and brecciated base of the pillowed flow where sedimentary material is absent.
Work History
In 1973, Four Seasons Manufacturing Limited completed a program of rock and soil sampling and ground electromagnetic and magnetic surveys on the area as the FS claims.
In 2018, Rich River Exploration Ltd. completed a program of rock, soil and silt sampling on the area as the Sunset Copper Star property. A sample (32356) assayed 0.291 per cent copper (MacIntyre, D. (2019-01-29): Technical Report - Sunset Copper Star Mineral Property).
