The Ringer zone (Hidden and H-East veins) are located at an elevation of approximately 1090 metres on a south-facing slope, north of a small lake, referred to as Adrian Lake, and approximately 5 kilometres north of the northeast end of Tsetzi Lake. The Mint zone of the Tam (MINFILE 093F 068) occurrence is located approximately 700 metres to the west.

The area is underlain by andesites, rhyolites and tuffs of the Lower to Middle Jurassic Entiako Formation (Hazelton Group). Sills and dikes of microdiorite and granodiorite related to the Upper Cretaceous Capoose Batholith intrude the Jurassic rocks.

Locally, two mineralized parallel quartz veins, referred to as the Hidden and H-East veins, have been identified by diamond drilling.

In 2003, eight float boulder samples from the Ringer cluster assayed an average of 19.01 grams per tonne gold and 140.1 grams per tonne silver. Later that year, the best of six drill intercepts through the Hidden vein and the parallel H-East vein yielded values of up to 2.07 grams per tonne gold and 17.2 grams per tonne silver (2.36 grams per tonne gold equivalent) across a true width of 1.2 metres (Southern Rio Resources Ltd. website - http://www.southernrio.com/s/3Ts.asp; Assessment Report 32671).

In 2016, a sample (A00289385) of subcropping quartz vein assayed 0.217 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 36591).

Work History

The area has been explored in conjunction with the Tsacha (MINFILE 093F 055) and Tam (MINFILE 093F 068) occurrence and a complete exploration history can be found there.

A prospecting program during the summer of 2003 identified several high-grade boulder occurrences including the Ringer zone. In an attempt to locate the bedrock source of the high-grade boulders, seven holes totalling 713.5 metres were completed in the vicinity of the high-grade Ringer boulders. The drilling discovered two new vein systems, the Hidden and H-East veins, located 50 to 55 metres west of the Ringer boulders. Further drilling on the zone, through 2014, failed to intercept any mineralized veins.
