The SJ occurrence is located approximately 1.6 kilometres north-northwest of Holberg.

The area is underlain by Upper Triassic Vancouver Group Karmutsen Formation dark blue or green amygdaloidal andesite, which quite often displays pillows or pillow fragments, and varicoloured volcaniclastics of the Upper Triassic Bonanza Group.

Locally, malachite, chalcopyrite and bornite occur in discontinuous quartz-carbonate(?) veins cutting a very tight, dark green amygdaloidal andesite. The zone is relatively flat lying with the irregular discontinuous veins occurring over a width of approximately one and a half metres. Traces of sulphides are sometimes seen in the andesite immediately adjacent to the veins.

In 1991, grab sampling returned values up to 1.078 per cent copper (sample 60761; Assessment Report 21732).

Work History

Between 1968 and 1970, the area was explored as a part of Hol claims by Nicola Lake Mining. Regional programs of geochemical and geophysical surveys were completed at that time. In 1991, Universal Trident completed a program of prospecting on the SJ and Papa claims. In 2018 and 2019, MK2 Ventures Ltd. and District Metals Corp. completed programs of prospecting, geological and structural mapping, geochemical (rock, soil, and stream sediment) sampling and an 804 line-kilometre airborne geophysical (VTEM) survey on the area as the Bakar property.
