The Mag 2 occurrence is located along the east bank of the McLeod River between Moffat and Fred creeks.
Regionally, the area is underlain by mudstone, siltstone, shale and fine clastic sedimentary rocks and basaltic volcanic rocks of the Jurassic to Triassic Takla Group, which are cut by narrow bands of Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic ultramafic rocks.
Locally, an andesite hosts quartz veins with pyrite and chalcopyrite.
In 1989, a rock sample (349307) assayed 0.48 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 19329).
Work History
During 1981 through 1987, 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 west as the GN 1-18 claims of the G North property.
In 1986, Plasway National Research Ltd staked ground east adjacent to the G-North, where data from a government geochemical survey indicated multiple element stream sediment anomalies. The property was optioned to Ezekiel and consolidated with the G-North property in 1989 and a program of geological mapping and geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling was completed. In 1990, a 124.0 line-kilometre ground magnetic and electromagnetic survey was completed on the property.
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.
