Longitude 125º 11' 26'' Northing 6140650
Easting 361250

Capsule Geology

The Sedlo occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 1250 metres in a creek gully on a southwest facing slope, approximately 3.2 kilometres east of the southern end of Dukaihoonli Lake.

The area is underlain by mesozonal plutonic rocks assigned to the Late Triassic to Early Cretaceous Hogem Intrusive Complex which have intruded volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Upper Triassic-Lower Jurassic Cretaceous Takla Group east of the Pinchi fault zone. Lithologies in the Sedlo area include quartz monzonite and granites.

In 2011, Kiska Metals Corp collected two grab samples collected from the newly discovered Sedlo showing. One of these samples (L647570) shows the highest-grade polymetallic mineralization discovered at Redton South project area in 2011; 0.94 per cent copper, 0.14 gram per tonne gold, 14.2 grams per tonne silver, and 0.016 per cent molybdenum (Assessment Report 32504).

Work History

During 2005 through 2010, Redton Resources and Geoinformatics Exploration Canada Inc. undertook work on the regionally extensive Redton property, which covered the Falcon (MINFILE 093N 068) occurrence to the south (just north of Nation Lake) and north to the Tak (MINFILE 093N 067) occurrence, approximately 6 kilometres south of the Omineca River. In 2005, a 5764.0 line-kilometre airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey was completed on the area as the Takla-Redton property. In 2006, a program of geological mapping and geochemical (rock, silt, and soil) sampling was completed on the property along with 12 diamond drill holes, totalling 4032.5 metres, on the Takla-Rainbow (MINFILE 093N 082) and Tak occurrences. In 2007 and 2008, programs of geochemical sampling (rock, silt, and soil) sampling, ground geophysical surveys and 10 diamond drill holes, totalling 3784.0 metres, were completed on the property. This work centred primarily on the Takla-Rainbow occurrence to the north and Falcon occurrence to the south. In 2010, a subsequent AeroTEM survey by Redton Resources identified 65 electromagnetic anomalies on the property.

During 2011 through 2014, Kiska Metals Corp. (previously Rimfire Minerals Corporation) completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping, geochemical (rock, silt, and soil) sampling and ground geophysical surveys on the Redton property. A combined 11.2 line-kilometre ground induced polarization and magnetic survey was completed on the Halobia Creek area.
