The FFE95-5-13-2 occurrence is located on a southeast-northwest–trending ridge, northeast of the Kechika River and approximately 3 kilometres southeast of Gataga Mountain.

Regionally, the area lies immediately east of the Northern Rocky Mountain Trench, which here coincides with the Kechika River valley, in a broad belt of Paleozoic basinal-facies sedimentary strata known as the Kechika Trough, part of Ancestral North America (Map 38; Exploration and Mining Geology, Volume 1; Geological Survey of Canada Map 1713A). The area is underlain by a generally northwest-trending and southwest-dipping belt consisting dominantly of quartz arenite sedimentary rocks the Cambrian Gog Group, a strongly deformed sequence of grey to brown dolostone, shale, siltstone and chert of the Silurian to Devonian Road River Group and a varied unit composed mostly of chert-pebble conglomerate and quartz sandstone, and blue-black siliceous shale and siltstone of the Devonian and Mississippian Earn Group (Geological Survey of Canada Map 42-1962, 1712A; Geoscience Map 1998-9). All rock units have been deformed into tight, northeast-overturned folds and imbricated by thrust faults.

Sample FFE95-5-13-2 is represented by disseminated galena in sheared, fractured, silicified slates of the Cambrian age. Mineralization is over a 5- to 10-centimetre zone. A sample assayed 4.88 per cent lead, 0.56 per cent zinc and 30.1 grams per tonne silver (Geoscience Map 1998-9).

Work History

In 2011 and 2012, BCarlin Resources Ltd. completed regionally extensive programs of geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling on the area as the Netson Lake property.
