The Regal occurrence is located approximately 13 kilometres west of Chukachida Lake and about 260 kilometres northwest of the community of Germansen Landing.

The area is underlain by the southern portion of the Lower Jurassic Mount McNamara monzonite to hornblende granodiorite stock. The intrusion cuts Lower-Middle Jurassic Hazelton Group marine sediments including siltstones and epiclastic volcanics as well as pyroxene-bearing flows.

Locally, flow banded rhyolite dikes some with coarse quartz eyes, trending between 290 to 330 degrees and dipping between 45 to 64 degrees, occur. The dikes range from 2 to 3 metres and up to 15 to 20 metres wide. The dikes are hosted in a fine aphanitic andesite volcanic believed to be Stuhini Group.

In 1982, a rock sample (Q-5) of sheared, epidotized and silicified andesite(?) with minor carbonate and chalcopyrite, located approximately 3.3 kilometres to the southeast, assayed 0.34 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 10839).

In 2005, a rock chip sample (83709) from a mineralized quartz stockwork vein with disseminated specular hematite and pyrite assayed up to 59.8 grams per tonne gold and 144 grams per tonne silver. Also in 2005, a 0.25 metre chip sample (83710) of quartz veining with galena in andesite, located approximately 500 metres to the east-northeast, yielded 0.55 gram per tonne gold, 6.1 grams per tonne silver, 1.57 per cent lead and 2.38 per cent zinc, whereas another chip sample (83714) of quartz veining with pyrite in an intrusive host, located approximately 3.1 kilometres to the east-northeast, assayed 0.695 gram per tonne gold over 0.5 metre (Assessment Report 28037).

In 2006, two chip samples (G06209 and G06210) of rhyolite hosting quartz veins with hematite and minor chalcopyrite, located approximately 300 metres to the southeast, yielded 9.26 and 18.60 grams per tonne gold with 55.1 and 25.8 grams per tonne silver over 1.0 and 0.5 metres, respectively, whereas a nearby float sample (G06212) assayed 147 grams per tonne gold and 434 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 28646). Also at this time, a chip sample (G06196) from the same vein as the 2005 sample 83710, located to the east, yielded 1.62 grams per tonne gold, 3.3 grams per tonne silver, 0.883 per cent lead and 0.759 per cent zinc over 0.3 metre (Assessment Report 28646).

In 2018, a grab sample (4075) from a 0.5-metre wide quartz-specularite vein, exposed in an outcrop located approximately 300 metres to the southeast, yielded 2.57 grams per tonne gold and 2.6 grams per tonne silver, whereas a nearby float sample (4076) of quartz-specularite vein in talus below the outcrop assayed 0.41 gram per tonne gold and 9.7 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 38272). Also at this time, two grab samples (4031 and 4113) from an outcrop of tuff and/or granodiorite hosting quartz-specularite veins, located a short distance south of the previous samples, assayed 9.89 and 0.87 grams per tonne gold with 6.0 and 0.7 grams per tonne silver, respectively (Assessment Report 38272).

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. Also at this time, a program of prospecting and soil sampling was completed on the area immediately south as the Spar Mountain 1 claim.

From 2004 to 2006, Stealth Minerals completed a program of prospecting and rock sampling on the area as a part of their Toodoggone project.

In 2017, Sable Resources Ltd. completed a helicopter-borne geophysical survey over the Bot property that 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.
