The HOTFISH showings are located east of Hotfish Lake, approximately 8 kilometres north of the east end of Canim Lake and 19.5 kilometres northeast of the community of Eagle Creek on Canim Lake..

The area is underlain by andesitic to mafic tuffs with occasional small areas of pillow lavas and volcanic breccia, and light to dark coloured argillites of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group. These have been intruded by quartz monzonite stocks or plugs of the Takomkane batholith.

Locally, three small zones of sulphide vein mineralization within quartz-carbonate altered rhyodacite of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group.

All three zones show abundant pyrite and some chalcopyrite; one zone carries stringers of sphalerite as well. Highlights of rock sampling in 1994 include:

-Zone 880: 10 centimetre quartz-carbonate vein assaying 0.37 per cent copper, 0.32 per cent zinc, 16.5 grams per tonne silver, 0.11 per cent mercury and trace cadmium, antimony and gold;

-Zone 1350: 10 to 20 centimetre quartz-carbonate vein assaying 0.25 per cent copper, 0.03 per cent zinc, 15.5 grams per tonne silver, 0.52 per cent mercury and trace cadmium, antimony and gold;

-Zone 206: 50 to 60 centimetre quartz-carbonate vein assaying 0.18 per cent copper, 0.07 per cent zinc, 20.4 grams per tonne silver, 0.38 per cent mercury, 0.09 per cent antimony and trace cadmium and gold.

WORK HISTORY

In 1991 through 2009, the Hot and Fish claims were explored by H.J. Wahl. Various programs of geological mapping, prospecting, geochemical sampling and induced polarization surveys were conducted. He discovered mineralization on the Fish claims in 1994, during follow-up work on extensions of cadmium and silver soil anomalies on the Hot claim group to the northwest (Assessment Report 23869).

In 2013 H.J. Wahl orchestrated a program of soil sampling for soil gas hydrocarbons (SGH) over the Hotfish property. To date, conventional and advanced geochemical techniques plus an induced polarization survey have identified a 500 by 700 metre area with high potential for bedrock sulphides carrying values for copper, zinc, silver and cadmium (Assessment Report 34030).
