The Klootch occurrence is located west of Klootchlimmis Creek, approximately 3.8 kilometres south of the creek mouth.

The area lies within the Insular Belt of the Cordillera and is underlain mainly by volcanics, crystalline rocks and minor sediments. Andesitic to rhyodacitic lava, tuff and breccia of the Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group overlie an assemblage consisting of Paleozoic Sicker Group sediments and Upper Triassic Vancouver Group basalts and minor carbonate and clastic sediments. The Bonanza volcanics are coeval with, or genetically related to, granodiorite stocks of the Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite which intrude all older rocks.

The occurrence consists of disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite in a magnetite rich subvolcanic albite-feldspar diorite dike intruding Upper Bonanza (?) clastic sediments.

Work History

During 1969 through 1974, Stokes Exploration, on the behalf of Brinco, completed a program of geological mapping, soil sampling and prospecting on the area as the Les claims. In 2014, Eden Venture Investments completed a minor program of prospecting and geochemical (rock and silt) sampling on the area as the Copper 1-4 claims of the Klootchlimmis Creek property.
