The Vall occurrence is located along the northeast bank of Valleau Creek approximately 5.5 kilometres from its confluence with the Klawli River.

The occurrence is hosted by hornfelsed coarse augite and minor plagioclase porphyritic basalts of the Lower Jurassic Chuchi Lake Formation of the Middle Triassic to Lower Jurassic Takla Group.

The Vall skarn, 20 centimetres wide, strikes 360 degrees and dips 78 degrees to the east. It is associated with a small, irregular carbonate vein system.

A grab sample from the showing containing epidote, garnet and pyrite yielded 0.130 gram per tonne gold and 0.0176 per cent copper (Open File 1993-3).

Work History

In 1969 and 1970, reconnaissance mapping and sampling was done in the area. In 1971, Driftwood Mines Ltd. staked the area as the Val claims.

During 1990 through 1992, Westmin Mines Ltd. completed programs of geochemical (rock, soil and stream sediment sampling), geological mapping, a 31.8 line-kilometre induced polarization survey and a 1100 line-kilometre airborne geophysical (electromagnetic and magnetic) survey on the area as part of the Wudleau South property.

During 2013 through 2015, Pacific Empire Minerals Corp., in conjunction with Nation River Resources Ltd. and Indata Resources Ltd., held the occurrence area as part of the larger Col-Later-Klawback property. Little or no work was performed on the Vall occurrence. A complete summary of the exploration work can be found in the Aplite Creek (MINFILE 093N 085) occurrence.
