The Lo occurrence is situated in the Kwanika Range near the headwaters of Halobia Creek, approximately 51 kilometres east-southeast of Takla Landing.

The Halobia Creek 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 Middle Triassic to Lower Jurassic Takla Group east of the Pinchi fault zone. The plutonic rocks form an elongate batholith, extending from Chuchi Lake, north to the Mesilinka River.

The only reference to the Lo occurrence describes chalcopyrite mineralized fractures and disseminations in syenodiorite (Geology, Exploration and Mining in British Columbia 1972, page 448).

Work History

The area was the subject of a program of soil geochemistry undertaken by Noranda Exploration in 1972.

In 1980, Dome Exploration Ltd. evaluated the Halo 1 claim for molybdenum and tungsten potential. A program of silt sampling, 10 test soil profiles and 52.5 line-kilometres of magnetic surveys were carried out.

In 1991, operator Swannell Minerals Corp conducted prospecting, silt sampling (18 samples), heavy mineral sampling (9 samples) and rock sampling (5 samples) on the Hal 1-6 group. In 1992, follow-up work by Swannell included reconnaissance survey grids, geological mapping, and rock (5 samples) and soil (110 samples) sampling.

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.
