The SPUR occurrence, defined by three 2021 drill holes, lies within the Fraser Plateau, 47 kilometres north-northeast of Williams Lake and 57 kilometres southeast of Quesnel, British Columbia.

In the southeast part of the Beaver property, the Spur occurrence is situated between the Mount Polley Mine and the Gibraltar Mine. The property covers a northwest trending height of land between the Beedy Creek and Beaver Creek Valleys, two prominent topographic lineaments considered to mark significant faults (Assessment Report 35173).

Situated within the Cache Creek Terrane, the Spur occurrence is underlain by rock units of the Permian to Triassic-aged Cache Creek Complex. Noted rock units include marine sedimentary and volcanic rocks including phyllite, siliceous phyllite, ribbon and massive chert, argillite, mudstone, sandstone, limestone, tuff, mafic volcanic rocks, and serpentinite. The area is bounded to the east and to the west by rocks of the Quesnel Terrane. The structural geology of the Beaver (formerly Ben) property is not well understood or documented. The fabric of the underlying sedimentary and volcanic rocks trends north-northwest (Assessment Report 35173).

Although not formally mapped due to thick overburden, drilling across the Beaver(formerly Ben) property intersected several zones containing shallow-dipping, variably serpentinized dunites, with lesser peridotites and gabbros. The serpentinite is mostly composed of antigorite and lizardite. Accessory magnetite (up to 10 per cent) and chlorite are dispersed within serpentine-rich pseudomorphs and within vein-like domains. The ultramafic rocks occur within interbedded marine sedimentary rocks of the Cache Creek Complex (mudstone, greywacke, sandstone, conglomerate), and volcanic rocks (tuff, dacite, basalt). Alteration styles include serpentinization and silicification. Nickel and cobalt mineralization are hosted in variably magnetic serpentinized ultramafic rocks, mostly contained within the nickel-sulphides heazlewoodite and pentlandite, with possible millerite (Assessment Report 35173).

In 2021, three diamond drill holes, collared at the Spur locality and defining the mineral occurrence, returned the following values: DDH B21-02 averaged 0.18 per cent nickel, 0.01 per cent cobalt, 0.34 per cent chromium and 22.1 per cent magnesium over a 188.54 metre interval; B21-03 averaged 0.19 per cent nickel, 0.01 per cent cobalt, 0.30 per cent chromium and 22.4 per cent magnesium over a 122.53 metre interval. B21-01 intersected mudstones and siltstones and lower breccia zones where mineralization was encountered over a 3.05 metre interval averaging 649 grams per tonne silver, 0.29 per cent copper, 0.08 per cent nickel, 0.01 per cent cobalt, 0.06 per cent chromium and 7.1 per cent magnesium.

WORK HISTORY

Limited work of significance was recorded on the Beaver (formerly Ben) property until Westhaven Ventures optioned the property from claim owner B.H. Kahlert in 2012. Rock geochemical samples were taken, and one induced polarization line (2 kilometres) was completed (approximately 1 kilometre south) in 2012 (Assessment Report 33544).

In 2014, Westhaven Ventures completed a property wide airborne magnetic survey, consisting of 851 line kilometres, with flight lines oriented east-west and spaced at 200 metre intervals. Follow up work in the area included prospecting and soil sampling, identifying multiple parallel, northwest-striking zones of anomalous nickel values. Throughout 2014, 3 drill holes (412.03 metres) were completed over two campaigns. Targeting magnetic anomalies, 2014 drilling encountered variably serpentinized dunite, shale, mudstone, and silicified volcanic rocks.

In 2021, Inomin Mines Inc. conducted eight line-kilometres of VLF-EM and 291 line-kilometres of ground magnetometer over their Beaver property, including the Spur showing. Follow-up drilling focusing on magnetic anomalies was done in 2021, including three diamond drill holes defining the Spur occurrence. Drilling in 2021 and 2023 concentrated in an area extending south from the Spur drill holes for approximately 6 kilometres. Drilling intersected uniform concentrations of sulphide nickel, cobalt and magnesium mineralization in shallow south to southwest-dipping serpentinites in most areas (Assessment Reports 40133, 41401). Two further airborne (helicopter and drone) magnetic surveys were completed over Inomin's Beaver-Lynx project in 2024 and 2025 (Press Release inominmines.com Feb. 6, 2025).
