The Lynx 7 (Post) occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 1700 metres on a west facing slope, approximately 5 kilometres west of Mount McNamara.
The area is situated within a Mesozoic volcanic arc assemblage which lies along the eastern margin of the Intermontane Belt, a northwest-trending belt of Paleozoic to Neogene sediments, volcanics and intrusions bounded to the east by the Omineca Belt and to the west and southwest by the Sustut and Bowser basins.
Devonian-Permian Asitka Group crystalline limestones are the oldest rocks exposed in the region. They are commonly in thrust contact with Upper Triassic Stuhini Group andesite flows and pyroclastic rocks. These Stuhini rocks have been intruded by plutons and other bodies of the mainly granodiorite to quartz monzonite Lower Jurassic Black Lake Suite and are in turn unconformably overlain by or faulted against Lower Jurassic calcalkaline volcanics of the Toodoggone Formation (Hazelton Group).
The dominant structures in the area are steeply dipping faults which define a prominent regional northwest structural fabric trending 140 to 170 degrees. In turn, high angle, northeast-striking faults (approximately 060 degrees) appear to truncate and displace northwest-striking faults. Collectively these faults form a boundary for variably rotated and tilted blocks underlain by monoclinal strata.
The occurrence area is underlain by four major tuff horizons including a red-brown, purple tuff, a fine-grained gray-green tuff, a fine-grained purple tuff and a purple crystal tuff. The later three tuff horizons are cut by a discordant core of silicification. The siliceous alteration zone has been mapped over an area of approximately 130 by 540 metres.
In 1984, a rock sample (31800) from the siliceous altered zone on the Post grid assayed 56.0 grams per tonne silver, 0.089 per cent lead and 0.154 per cent molybdenum, while a nearby sample (R08091), taken to the south of the previous sample, yielded 37.5 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 13798).
Work History
In 1981 and 1982, Golden Rule Resources Ltd. completed programs of geological mapping and geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling on the area as the QBX 1-12 claims.
In 1984, Newmont Exploration of Canada Ltd. completed a program geological mapping, geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling and ground magnetic and electromagnetic surveys on the area as the Lynx 1-7 claims.
In 1986, Toodoggone Gold Inc. completed a 278 line-kilometre airborne electromagnetic and magnetic survey on the area as the Fisher 1-2 and Wolverine 1-2 claims.
During 2004 through 2006, Stealth Minerals Limited completed exploration programs of soil and rock geochemical sampling, prospecting and geological mapping on the Mac 1-9 claims as a part of its Toodoggone project.
In 2017, Sable Resources Ltd. completed a helicopter-borne geophysical survey over the Bot property which included radiometric, magnetic, and ZTEM data.
In 2018, Talisker Resources Ltd. conducted prospecting of geophysical anomalies (identified in the 2017 survey) located on the northern half of the Bot property. A total of 148 rock, silt and talus samples were collected and submitted for assay.
