The Gold #8 occurrence is located approximately 5 kilometres north-northeast of Motase Peak and lies within the Gold #8 claim.

The host rocks are interbedded shales and greywackes with minor intercalated conglomerate beds of the Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous Bowser Lake Group. A Late Oxfordian age (Late Jurassic) was obtained from an ammonite impression suggesting that the sediments are from the highest beds of the Ashman Formation or the lowest beds of the undivided volcanics and sediments (Assessment Report 14073).

A 600 by 60 metre gossan is observed in the western portion of the property, known as the Gossan zone. Sedimentary rocks are intruded by altered dacite porphyry dikes composed of 40 per cent phenocrysts (2 to 5 millimetres in size) in a quartz-sericite-feldspar matrix with 2 to 3 per cent pyrite. The mineralization occurs within two sets of quartz veins. The attitudes are 295 to 320 degrees, dipping 30 to 46 degrees north and 065 to 080 degrees, dipping 40 to 70 degrees northwest. These veins, typically 5 to 30 centimetres wide, contain quartz, galena, sphalerite, pyrite, minor chalcopyrite and carbonate.

One of the best samples from a 5-centimetre vein assayed 16.8 grams per tonne gold, 368.57 grams per tonne silver, and 0.82 per cent combined lead and zinc (Assessment Report 14073) (Assessment Report 14073).

WORK HISTORY

In 1981, Assessment Report 9522 described geochemical sampling of hornfels and porphyry rock on the Horn claim group for JMT Services Corp. Hornfels north of the granodiorite is reported to have higher molybdenum concentrations, but values are not reported (Assessment Report 9522).

In 1985, Mr. M. Zink commissioned D.D.H. Geomanagement Ltd. to map the geology, prospect and produce a reconnaissance geochemical map for the GOLD mineral claims 5 - 12 and 14. Work was conducted on the western side of the claim block on Gold #8 claim (Assessment Report 14073). This work identified a 600 by 60 metre auriferous gossan zone on the west side of the property associated with a sericite-altered dacite porphyry dike. Soil sampling identified anomalous molybdenum, zinc, copper, cobalt, manganese, arsenic and gold peripheral to the dyke. A sample of a 5-centimetre-wide quartz-galena-sphalerite vein returned an assay value of 16.8 grams per ton gold, 368.57 grams per tonne silver, and 0.82 per cent combined lead and zinc (Assessment Report 14073).

In 2008, the Horn property, consisting of the Walt, Walt Ext., and Horn 1 claims, was visited on behalf of Paget Moly Corporation. Mapping and rock sampling was conducted in the Gossan Zone (Gold #8 (094D 118) on western portion of Paget's Horn property (Assessment Report 30336).
