The Parish occurrences is located near a mountain pass between the lower Akie and Finlay rivers, approximately 7 kilometres northwest of a southeast-flowing tributary of the Akie River.

Regionally, the area is underlain by a northwest-trending belt of Mississippian to Devonian Earn Group shales unconformably overlying Ordovician to Devonian Road River Group rocks and Cambrian to Ordovician Kechika Group limestone.

Locally, weakly limonitic siliceous shales with quartz boxworks host minor pyrite with silver and lead values and oxidized outcrops and/or zones of felsemeer with siliceous shales with quartz and siderite host minor chalcopyrite and malachite. The mineralized zones been identified over an area of approximately 350 by 250 metres.

In 2008, outcrop and talus samples (409455-409457 and 409460-409464) of siliceous shales with quartz boxworks yielded from 0.030 to 0.150 per cent lead and 10.7 to 23.2 grams per tonne silver, while samples (12971 and 409465-409466) of oxidized outcrop and/or felsemeer yielded from 0.211 to 0.471 per cent copper (Assessment Report 31147).

Work History

In 2008, Mantle Resources Inc. and ZincX Resources Corp. completed a program of geological mapping and geochemical (rock and soil) sampling on the area as the Parrish 1-6 claims.
