The FFE94-29-13 occurrence is located on a west-facing slope, approximately 5 kilometres northeast of Brownie Mountain and 5 kilometres south-southwest of the south end of Netson Lake.
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.
Locally, a copper-barite quartz vein is hosted within Middle Devonian to Lower Mississippian Earn Group sediments.
A sample (FFE94-29-13) assayed 0.24 per cent copper, 20.2 grams per tonne silver, 0.339 per cent strontium and 18.78 per cent barium (Geoscience Map 1998-9).
Work History
In 1978, Texasgulf Canada Ltd. completed a program of geological mapping and geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling on the area as the Solo 1-4 claims.
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.
