The Blue Rock occurrence is located near the southern end of the Hankin Range, approximately 3.5 kilometres west-northwest of Steele Lake and at an elevation of 1,000 metres.
The area is underlain by carbonates and calcareous sediments of the Upper Triassic Quatsino Formation (Vancouver Group). The Quatsino sediments are in fault- contact with the overlying Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group volcanics. Strong, regional north to northwest trending faults traverse the area. Granodiorite of the Nimpkish Batholith, which is part of the Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite, intrudes the older rocks.
Locally, two areas of mineralization have been identified:
The Blue Rock area is hosted by the Nimpkish Pluton and is reported to be a carbonate-rich and argillic- altered skarn or replacement zone of calcareous country rock, likely limestone of the Quatsino Formation. Mineralization consists of pyrite, sphalerite and galena, with minor molybdenite. In 2005, sampling yielded up to 0.106 per cent copper, 1.49 per cent lead, 5.48 per cent zinc, 0.125 per cent molybdenum, 0.115 per cent bismuth, 24.1 grams per tonne gold and greater than 100 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 27846).
The Quartz Vein area is located approximately 100 metres north of the Blue Rock zone. It is hosted by the Nimpkish Pluton and consists of a 50 centimetre wide quartz vein hosting molybdenite and pyrite. In 2005, sampling yielded from 0.15 to 5.63 per cent molybdenum, with silver and copper values up to 8.9 grams per tonne and 0.191 per cent, respectively (Assessment Report 27846).
In 2005, the area was prospected as the Ravenhill property.
