The Wedgemont occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 1950 metres on a generally east-west–trending ridge, south of Menard Creek and West of the Ingenika River.

The area is cut by a north-trending fault that separates andesitic rocks of the Upper Triassic Savage Mountain Formation (Takla Group), to the west, from an undifferentiated package of Upper Triassic volcanics (Takla Group), to the east. Both volcanic packages are represented by aphanitic to porphyritic (feldspar) andesites. The undifferentiated volcanics are cut by a medium-grained gabbro with phenocrysts of plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene.

The Savage Mountain volcanics are cut by northwest-trending dikes of pink porphyritic granodiorite that contain hornblende and plagioclase phenocrysts in a matrix of quartz, plagioclase and orthoclase. Close to the north-trending fault, which the dikes terminate against, the matrix is chlorite altered. A 60-metre pyritic and propylitic envelope exists on either side of the fault. A serpentinite-altered zone is developed around the gabbro intrusion and is more pervasive near the fault. Serpentinization overlaps on both sides of the fault and is fairly widespread near the mafic intrusion.

Locally, a 1-metre-wide shear zone in maroon volcanics hosts abundant malachite and azurite fillings and quartz-carbonate-chalcopyrite-bornite veins, up to 0.1 metre wide. The shear zone strikes 353 degrees and dips 64 degrees.

Work History

In 2015, High Power Exploration conducted property wide, broadly spaced geochemical sampling and reconnaissance style mapping and prospecting on key target areas on their large Menard property.

In 2021, Wedgemount Resources Corp. completed a program of geochemical (rock and soil) sampling and spectral analysis on the area as the regionally extensive Cookie property. A grab (D704041) sample from the occurrence assayed 1.68 per cent copper, 39.5 grams per tonne silver and 0.585 gram per tonne gold, whereas another grab sample (D704040) taken approximately 750 metres to the east-northeast of the previous sample assayed 0.35 per cent copper (Assessment Report 40029).
