Capsule Geology

The Linzer Southwest occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 530 metres on a west-facing slope, east of Kim Creek and approximately 5.6 kilometres west of the west end of Keta Lake.

The area to the west of the Adam River is mainly underlain mainly by the upper part of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation, comprising mainly thick massive flows with local intercalations of amygdaloidal basalt and pods of autoclastic breccias, pillowed and massive flows with thin intercalations of volcaniclastic and limy sandstones, all cut by thin dolerite/gabbro sills.

Locally, a diabase(?) hosts quartz vein(s) associated with a north-south–trending fault zone.

In 2011, a rock sample (6726) assayed 1.659 per cent copper and 0.455 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 32553).

In 2020, a rock sample (27291) from a narrow quartz vein with minor bornite(?) assayed 0.106 per cent copper, whereas another sample (27293) from a quartz vein, located several hundred metres to the southeast of the previous sample, yielded 0.347 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 39283).

Work History

In 1991, West Pride Industries completed a program of geological mapping and geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling on the area as the Boyes 1-5 claims of the Adam River property. During 2006 through 2013, M. Schau completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping and rock sampling on the area as the Kringle claims. In 2018, Crest Resources Inc. completed a program of rock and soil sampling on the area as the Red Metal Ridge property. In 2020, Altum Resource Corp. completed a program of prospecting and geochemical (rock and soil) sampling on the area as the Adam West property.
