The Aeromag occurrence is located east of Hammett Creek and approximately 12 kilometres northwest of the southeast end of McLeod Lake.
Regionally, the area is underlain by basaltic volcanic rocks of the Mississippian to Permian Antler Formation (Slide Mountain Group) and mudstone, siltstone, shale and fine clastic sedimentary rocks of the Triassic Takla Group.
Locally, a clayey gouge zone with quartz fragmentals in bedrock hosts gold values.
In 2014, a panel sample (AER-18) over a 0.6- by 0.6-metre area assayed 0.638 gram per tonne gold, whereas two nearby samples (AER-21 and -22) of listwanite-altered(?) rock yielded 0.112 and 0.146 per cent nickel with 0.057 and 0.061 per cent chromium, respectively (Assessment Report 35226).
Work History
In 2014, the area was prospected and sampled by John Kreft.
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.
