The Ox 1 showing consists of chalcocite, malachite and chrysocolla (?) are found with quartz, epidote, tremolite and garnet in green volcanics of the Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group (Telkwa Formation).

WORK HISTORY

The showing was defined originally by Geological Survey of Canada and documented in 1971 as GSC 1971-19.

The Ox 1 and Ox 3-12 tenures were staked in 2011 to 2012 by Liaoning Eden Venture Investments Ltd. There is no record of the property being previously staked, but 2 MINFILE showings are recorded on the east side of the Zymoetz dating from the first GSC mapping program in the late 1960s. A program in 2012 consisted of the collection of 75 rock and 98 silt samples. An airborne geophysical was flown over 413.6 kilometres and consisted of magnetic, electromagnetic and radiometric components.

The multi-sensor airborne geophysical survey outlined a large dioritic dike and several small structural breaks by Residual Magnetic Intensity and Calculated Vertical Gradient of the magnetic field measurements, and several apical granite plutons, by potassium, Thorium and Uranium radiometrics. Electromagnetic measurements were overwhelmed by conductive sediments in the valleys. The geochemical survey showed an excellent dispersion halo in parts of Ventura Creek that drains an area of abundant bornite vein mineralization discovered on the ridge to the north.

Mineralization observed in place in 2012 is dominantly east-west trending veins of massive bornite plus/minus chalcocite with epidote gangue and in markedly epidote altered sections of mafic flows. Bornite was also observed as amygdules. Minor chalcopyrite was found in fractures in a granite pluton. Location and discussion of the mineralized samples were not documented.
