The Gold Old Lorne showing is on the northeast side of a northwest-southeast trending ridge line, approximately 9 kilometres north east of the east end of Tsayta Lake.

The area is underlain by the contact area of an Early Jurassic phase of the Hogem Plutonic Suite, on the west, consisting of quartz monzonite to monzogranite, and on the east, an Early Cretaceous granite phase of the Hogem Plutonic Suite.

In 2011, a rock sample (M411101) from a gossanous area (possible fault) assayed 1.8 grams per tonne gold, 138 grams per tonne silver, and 0.07 per cent lead (Assessment Report 32504). The area also shows gold, molybdenum and lead plus or minus copper and zinc anomalies in soil samples.

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. This work identified a soil anomaly associated with a magnetic low in Hogem Batholith rocks, located approximately 800 metres east of the Good Old Lorne occurrence. A combined 11.2 line-kilometre ground induced polarization and magnetic survey was completed on the Halobia Creek area.

In 2019, Spearmint Resources Inc. completed a program of prospecting and rock sampling on the area as the Safari property.
