The Hab 11 occurrence is located on the east side of a ridge separating Friendly and Steele creeks, approximately 1.5 kilometres southeast of Bonanza Lake and at an elevation of 400 metres.

The area is underlain by basalts and lavas of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation (Vancouver Group). The volcanics are intruded by Late Jurassic granodiorite of the Nimpkish Batholith which is part of the Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite.

Locally, several faulted shear zones that range up to 20 centimetres in width, contain minor chalcopyrite, pyrite and native copper. A small area contains disseminated chalcopyrite and pyrite, and a 30 centimetre wide garnet-epidote skarn band hosts chalcopyrite, pyrite and magnetite. All the mineralization lies within andesite of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation.

Work History

In 1966, Comcino completed a program of geological mapping and a ground magnetometer survey on the area as the Bob claims. During 1971 through 1977, Imperial Oil completed programs of line cutting, geological mapping, soil sampling and ground geophysical surveys on the area as part of the Hab and Bob claims. In 1993 and 1994, Braddick Resources completed programs of geochemical sampling, geological mapping and ground geophysical surveys on the area as the Bon and Bonz 1-2 claims. In 2012, Homegold Resources completed programs of rock and soil sampling and a ground magnetometer survey on the area as the Bonanza River property. In 2013, Jinhua Capital Corp. prospected the Steele Creek property. In 2018, Hawkeye Gold and Diamond Inc. completed a minor program of prospecting and rock sampling on the area as the Bonanza property.
