The Pintledanne area is underlain by coarse-grained quartz diorite and granodiorite of the Coast Plutonic Complex.

Mineralization consists of chalcopyrite, chalcocite, malachite, azurite, bornite, molybdenite, and pyrite. Mineralization occurs in quartz veins and as pods in a fine-grained intrusive dike resembling alaskite. Recent reports indicate the quartz veins vary from stringers up to about 2.5 metres in width; however, a 1906 report makes reference to a 30 metre wide quartz vein.

WORK HISTORY

The Pintledanne group of claims was staked on the showings in the spring of 1906 by Messrs. Dakin and Pocklington, of Victoria. No development work was reported at that time. The Joe 1-14 claims were held in 1968 by United Copper Corporation Limited. Work during the year included a survey of the surface workings, geological mapping, and 95 metres of bedrock trenching.

Mr. Alex Burton examined the property for United Copper in the summer of 1967. Evidence exists indicating that a short adit was driven in a southerly direction on the MO claims in a faulted quartz vein containing copper mineralization. The portal of the adit is now caved but is felt that only limited work was undertaken.

In 1972, Charta Mines Limite sampled the "alaskite" zone using a channel chip method in 6 trenches for a total of 146 metres (Assessment Report 3974).

In 2007, Gordon Goodbrand staked 9 units. Ongoing exploration and research occurred.

In 2010, two grab samples at the zone were collected. One consisted of "alaskite" fine-grained chalcopyrite, bornite, manganese stain and the other consisted of quartz sheared chalcopyrite borinite pyrite chalcocite, and molybdenite. The latter sample assayed 10.8 grams per tonne gold, 5.8 grams per tonne silver, 0.06 per cent copper and less than 0.01 per cent molybdenum (Assessment Report 32345).
