The Kim West occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 510 metres on a north-northwest–trending ridge, west of Kim Creek and approximately 2.05 kilometres southwest of the creek’s mouth on the Adam River.

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, an altered intersertal basalt with microphenocrysts and 5 per cent amygdales hosts copper and gold values.

In 2013, a rock sample (1415719) assayed 0.494 per cent copper and 0.226 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 34183).

Work History

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 prospecting, geochemical (rock and soil) sampling, trenching and a 24.0 line-kilometre ground electromagnetic survey on the area as the Red Metal Ridge property.
