The Totem occurrence area is underlain by a Late Triassic intrusion comprised of granite to granodiorite with associated quartz veining. The intrusion is emplaced within Jurassic Hazelton Group rock. The intrusive is slightly epidotized and chloritized. The intrusive is crosscut by dikes ranging in composition from basalt to rhyolite. The dikes measure 0.9 to 3.7 metres in width and host disseminated pyrite and minor magnetite. They strike 010 to 020 degrees and dip steeply to the north.

Eocene to Oligocene Endako Formation volcanics of the Nechako Plateau Group overlie the granodioritic stock. The volcanics are comprised of amygdaloidal andesite, porphyritic andesite, andesite, and breccia. The amygdaloidal rocks are black to dark red, very magnetic and host calcite amygdules. They are crosscut by quartz-epidote stringers.

Mineralization in the granodiorite consists of traces of chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite disseminated in fractures with minor chalcopyrite in the quartz veins.

WORK HISTORY

The Totem, Babine, and Topley groups, totalling about 152 claims, were acquired by Tro-Buttle Exploration Limited. During the period 1968-1970 geological mapping and geochemical soil surveys were carried out.

In 2012, an aeromagnetic program was conducted over the Flute and Lennac properties by Riverside Resources (BC) Inc. The total covered area was 813 square kilometres and the total survey line coverage was 4,444 line kilometres (Assessment Report 33032, 33707F). The Totem occurrence was covered by this survey.
