The Addie 2 occurrence is located near the top of a hill, at an elevation of approximately 1540 metres and 3.5 kilometres east of the junction of the McKusky and Horsefly rivers.

Regionally, the area is underlain by mudstone, siltstone, shale and fine clastic sedimentary rocks of the Middle to Upper Triassic Nicola Group and Triassic Slocan Group. To the east, serpentinite ultramafic rocks of the Upper Paleozoic Crooked amphibolite and metasedimentary rocks of the Neoproterozoic to Paleozoic Snowshoe Group are exposed.

Locally, the area is underlain mainly by graphitic phyllites of the Slocan Group. These rocks form the upright northwest limb of the major northwest-trending Eureka syncline. Locally, the rocks form asymmetric drag folds, which contain metamorphically derived quartz (‘sweats’) in the hinges. For more detailed regional and local geology descriptions see the Frasergold (MINFILE 093A 150) occurrence.

Mineralization is associated with the ‘knotted’ or porphyroblastic black phyllite unit, which occurs within the phyllite sequence. Gold mineralization typically occurs near the base of the knotted phyllite. The quartz sweats host gold mineralization (rarely visible) and quartz-carbonate material. The mineralized zone is characterized by a high percentage of boudinaged quartz veins with minor pyrite, limonite, and iron carbonate (siderite) hosted in a graphitic and locally sheared phyllite within a more massive-type porphyroblastic phyllite.

In 2009, a channel sample (594730) assayed 0.14 gram per tonne gold over a 1 metre length with a depth and width of 10 centimetres, whereas a panel sample (594810) from an angular, oxidized quartz boulder assayed 0.147 per cent lead and 21.4 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 30540).

Work History

In 1983, Regional Resources Ltd. completed a program of rock, silt and soil sampling on the area as the CL 1-4 and JB 1 claims. In 1984, Newmont Exploration of Canada completed a program of geological mapping and soil sampling on the area as the Phyl claim. During 1984 through 1993, Grand National Resources Inc. completed programs of rock, silt and soil sampling, geological mapping and ground electromagnetic surveys on the area immediately southeast as the Jolly Jack and Topper claims. These programs identified anomalous gold-in-soil values and visible particles of gold from stream sediment samples.

During 2006 through 2011, Dajin Resources Corp. completed programs of rock, soil and silt sampling, geological mapping and a 684.1 line-kilometre airborne geophysical survey on the area as the Addie 2 claim. In 2016, Monsa Exploration Inc. completed a program of rock and soil sampling and a 155 line-kilometre ground magnetic survey on the area as the Cutty 2-7 claims of the Skyfire property. In 2018, Ridgeline Exploration Services Inc., on the behalf of Mansa Exploration Inc., completed a program of rock sampling and trenching on the property.
