The Kaza 2 occurrence is located about 7 kilometres north-northeast of Kaza Peak.

Exploration during 2010 in the Takla Lake area west of Fort St James was done by Blind Creek Resources. The area is underlain, in part, by rock of the Savage Mountain Formation of the Upper Triassic Takla Group, mapped as basic augite porphyry basalt flow, breccia, pillow breccia, tuff and interbedded bladed feldspar porphyry.

A showing of malachite in pyritic layered metasedimentary rock was discovered in a northeast facing cirque. A grab sample from the rock assayed 0.52 per cent copper (Assessment Report 31769). Layered metasedimentary rocks with pyritic layers and possible trace chalcopyrite were noted within a cirque, less than 1 kilometre to the south of the grab sample. In addition, anomalous copper plus/minus arsenic in soil results (maximum values of 250 parts per million copper and 115 parts per million arsenic) were obtained from both cirques which cover similar stratigraphy to that hosting the Northstar prospect.

WORK HISTORY

In 2008, initial geological mapping, sampling and prospecting on the Kaza 2 and 3 claims by Blind Creek Resources Ltd outlined similar stratigraphy to that hosting the Fred prospect (094D 032) on the Kaza 2 claim (094D 191) with a copper anomalous drainage basin, and favourably altered ultramafic rocks that may have gold potential on the northeast Kaza 3 claim with a gold in stream sediment anomaly downstream (Assessment Report 30501).

In 2010, Blind Creek Resources Ltd completed stream sediment sampling, contour soil sampling, geological mapping, and rock geochemical sampling on the northern Kaza claims (565421, 565420, 831237, 505153, and 506163) (Assessment Report 31769). The work was designed to test the source of the copper anomalous drainage basin in the western Kaza 2 (565421) area, the source of the 433 parts per billion gold in stream sediment anomaly on tenure 506163, and the gold potential of the ultramafic rocks and thrust faults on Kaza 3 (565420). Follow up of a previous anomalous bulk stream sediment sample containing the 433 parts per billion gold from Ominecetla Creek east of the Fred prospect did not reveal any significant gold anomalies upstream.

In 2012, an MMI (mobile metal ion) soil sampling survey was carried out by Blind Creek Resources within the Kaza Northstar property (Assessment Report 34380). The MMI sampling was done by taking 400 samples along ten northeast-trending lines for a total survey length of 9750 meters. The grid was set up about 1 kilometre to the north-northwest of the Kaza Copper prospect (093M 111). A number of metals comprise the anomalous throughout the grid area, but, the copper anomalous results, as shown on the copper plan map, are used to define four anomalies.
