The Iroquois occurrence is located near the north bank of Iroquois Creek, approximately 350 metres east of the creek's confluence with the McLeod River.

Regionally, the area is underlain by mudstone, siltstone, shale, limestone, fine clastic sedimentary rocks and basaltic volcanic rocks of the Triassic to Jurassic Takla Group.

Locally, light grayish altered limestone hosts quartz veins with dendritic chalcopyrite. Quartz diorite veins and stringers are reported to show good chalcopyrite mineralization. The quartz veins are carrying ‘nodules’ of chalcopyrite up to 3 centimetres in size as well as dendrites through the fractures in the quartz itself. Further along the creek porphyritic rock shows fine metallic stringers throughout that appears to be chalcopyrite.

Though chalcopyrite is reported copper values in analysis sheets are uniformly low. One sample did yield a gold assay of 0.145 gram per tonne (Assessment Report 22392).

Work History

During 1981 through 1989, Ezekiel Explorations Ltd. completed programs of geological mapping, geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling and airborne and ground (magnetic and electromagnetic) geophysical surveys on the area immediately northwest of the occurrence as the GN 1-18 claims of the G North property.

In 1991, W. Brent McEwen prospected and sampled his Iroquois claims.

In 2020 and 2021, Golden Planet Mining Corp. completed a regionally extensive program of prospecting, geological mapping, geochemical (rock, till and soil) sampling and a 4851.0-line-kilometre airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey on the area as the Rider property.
