The Ringo occurrence is located approximately 10 kilometres southeast of Dortatelle Peak (Assessment Report 4092).
The occurrence is hosted within felsite dikes, which intrude Upper Triassic Takla Group volcanics. The volcanics are also intruded by an elongate, Late Triassic, Alaskan-type ultramafic body. The Early Jurassic Hogem batholith part of the Hogem Plutonic Suite lies to the south. To the west, the rocks are cut by the north trending Dortatelle fault.
The Takla Formation in the area consists of intermediate flows and tuffs, interbedded with minor amounts of calcareous fragmental and clastic sedimentary rocks. The Hogem batholith, in this area, is reported to be a coarse-grained granite. Within the contact areas, both volcanic and intrusive rock are cut by pegmatite and aplite dikes, and quartz veins.
Mineralization occurs as uneven disseminations, flakes and rosettes of molybdenite within the dikes. At the documented location, the felsite dike is about 1-metre thick and is traceable for 30 metres (Assessment Report 3839). A grab sample of this material assayed 1.51 per cent molybdenum (Assessment Report 3839).
Other occurrences of molybdenite are found within pegmatites and in quartz veins. These are located about 400 metres to the north and 2 kilometres to the east, of this location. A minor chalcopyrite-pyrite occurrence is also found in pegmatites and quartz veins. Another, similar, chalcopyrite occurrence is located approximately 1 kilometre to the west.
No work is recorded prior to 1972 on the ground staked by Stellac Exploration in 1971 as the Ringo Claim Group. In 1971, the first geological and geochemical survey was done in September of the same year when 150 soils samples were collected (Assessment Report 3839). In 1972, Stellac Exploration collected 77 soil samples on their Ringo and Norlen claims, part of their Ringo Claim Group (Assessment Report 4092). In 1973, Stellac Exploration collected 290 soil samples on their Norlen and Tumble claims (Assessment Report 4582). The early surveys indicated the presence of anomalous amounts of copper and molybdenum in some of the soil samples taken on the Ringo 1, 3 and 5 claims. Molybdenum anomalies were also indicated on the Ringo 19 and 20, end on the Norlen 10 and 12 claims. Results from the 1973 survey indicated the presence of several new anomalous zones.
