The RPF area is underlain by Upper Triassic calc-alkaline volcanic rocks of the Takla Group.

Two areas of maroon-coloured slightly-siliceous hematitic tuff located in the north-west and in the west-central RFP property area contain a northwesterly trending carbonate altered and silicified shear zone, approximately 2 meters wide. The shear contains minor disseminated chalcopyrite pyrite.

Work History

In 1991 the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) conducted a high resolution airborne gamma ray spectrometric (AGRS) survey over the Mt.Milligan area. This survey delineated potassic halo "bulls-eyes" over the Mt.Milligan, Taylor, Wit, Chuchi and other known deposits and identified several new targets, one of which mostly lies under the RPF claim, known as the K4 anomaly.

The property was originally staked by Dave Forshaw and in April 1991 was optioned to Teck Exploration Ltd. Teck contracted Pacific Geophysics to conduct a 3 km nduced polarization and resistivity and ground magnetic surveys over an aeromagnetic high on the property. The surveys identified four IP anomalies and a magnetic high, but Teck dropped the option. In 1992, the property was soil sampled by the owner as assessment work. The results of the survey were inconclusive in determining the character of the IP and magnetic anomalies. A float sample (92RPF04R) of quartz with blebs and stringers of chalcopyrite and pyrite assayed 0.254 per cent copper and 8.4 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 22465).

The RPF was optioned by Pacific Mariner Exploration Ltd. in February 1994. In 1995 Pacific Mariner Exploration Ltd drilled to 103.35 metres through maroon and grey tuff. Values obtained were not significant. Pacific Mariner Exploration Ltd. changed their company name to Abitibi Mining Corp. They dropped their option on the RPF in the year 2000.

In 2002 the claim was restaked by Dave Forshaw, adding 8 units on the north and west boundaries, for a total of 18 units, to further cover the "K4" anomaly. Rock and soil sampling was then done.

In 2004 the RPF mineral claim was converted to cells, with an area of 648.654 hectors. A program of prospecting and soil sampling was completed at this time.

In 2007, Dave Forshaw conducted a 4 km ground radiometric survey. The survey indicated a larger potassium anomalous area than the 1991 airborne gamma ray spectrometric survey. The following year, a minor program of rock and soil sampling was completed.
