The Mt. Boe occurrence is located directly north of Mount Boe in the upper Richards Creek valley.

Regionally, the Richards Creek valley is underlain by Lower to Middle Devonian Stone Formation dolomite, conformably overlain by Middle Devonian Dunedin Formation micritic limestone, which is in turn overlain by Devonian to Carboniferous Besa River Formation shale. This sequence is overthrust from the west by a panel of Stone Formation and Dunedin Formation strata, which is in turn overthrust by a package of Cambrian to Ordovician Kechika Group, Ordovician Skoki Formation and Silurian Nonda Formation rock.

The occurrence, consisting of two fractured-controlled, irregular-shaped, massive pods of pyrite, marcasite, sphalerite and galena, is hosted within in the thrust-panel of the Stone Formation near the stratigraphic contact with overlying Dunedin Formation. White, sparry calcite and quartz-filled cavities are associated with the mineralization. The fracture-fillings may coalesce into irregular networks of veins.

Work History

In 1972 and 1973, Cominco Ltd. completed programs of geological mapping, geochemical sampling and at least 16 diamond drill holes, totalling 952.2 metres, on the area as the Ric claims. No assays were reported. In 2008, Douglas Herriott prospected and sampled the area as the Red Cat property. No assays were reported.
