The Heath East occurrence is situated between Mount Nation and the west end of Tchentlo Lake, approximately 56 kilometres southeast of Takla Landing.
The Heath East area is underlain by mesozonal plutonic rocks assigned to the Late Triassic to Early Jurassic Hogem Intrusive Complex which have been emplaced into volcanic rocks of the Middle Triassic to Lower Jurassic Takla Group, east of the Pinchi fault zone. Intrusive rocks range from diorite to gabbro on the west and quartz monzonite to monzogranite on the east.
The East zone is a newly delineated zone of mineralization centred about 600 metres southeast of Trench C (see Heath, 093N 072). Mineralization outcrops sporadically across a width of at least 225 metres within a 300 by 400 metre part of the soil anomaly which contains numerous values over 1000 parts per million (ppm) copper (up to 3671 ppm). Mineralization consists of sheeted magnetite-quartz-chalcopyrite, biotite-K-feldspar-magnetite-chalcopyrite and quartz-epidote-chalcopyrite veins. Four rock samples from the zone averaged 1.15 per cent copper, 0.19 gram per tonne gold and 27.8 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 34426).
In 2016-17, the Falcon-Heath claim block consisted of 11 contiguous claims covering an area of 4112 hectares. The claims are 100 per cent owned by Redton Resources Inc., the company which originally staked all of them except the “Heath Claims” in 2005. The first of the 2016 exploration season recommendations was to conduct further structural geological mapping of the Heath claims in order to define drilling targets deeper than the maximum depth previously drilled (118 metres). To facilitate these studies it was decided to carry out high-resolution orthophotographic surveys over whatever outcrop was visible through the trees and close enough to the main geochemical anomaly on the property to be potentially relevant to mineralization-controlling structures. In 2017, 54 soil samples were collected.
