The Danee prospect is located on an upper west-facing ridge side approximately 2 kilometres southeast of Treasure Mountain peak and is within the central region of the Treasure Mountain property, 38.5 kilometres east of Terrace, B.C.

The Danee prospect is within a greater than 14 kilometre north trending zone of copper+/-silver mineralization extending from Clore River valley to Kleanza River valley.

At the Danee zone, discovered in 2006, grab samples from surface trenching confirm mineralization similar to the Purdex zone with results that include sample H-229572 with 0.83 per cent copper and 14.7 grams per tonne silver, and sample H-229568 with 0.35 per cent copper. The program of trenching and mapping at the Danee zone was undertaken to follow 2007 trenching of the 145 metre thick permeable layer of volcanic sediments that is host to disseminated copper mineralization (Press Release – Trade Winds Ventures Inc., November 19, 2008).

In 2011, Trade Wind Ventures contracted Fugro Airborne Surveys Corp. to fly an electromagnetic and magnetic airborne geophysical survey over the Treasure Mountain property, which included the Danee area.

The 2017 exploration program by Decade Resources Ltd. resampled 2007 and 2008 pits and trenches. Six chip samples (A17-74 to 78, A17-81 and one grab sample (A17-80) were collected from two trenches and two pits blasted within massive, reddish-brown rock which often contained pervasive limonite and locally malachite. Locally silicification, sericitization and carbonate alteration was noted. The samples averaged 0.2 per cent Cu, five samples returned anomalous silver values ranging from 0.5 to 3.9 grams per tonne. Sample A17- 82, a grab derived from 10-20 cm wide quartz-chalcocite vein yielded 4.43 per cent Cu, 45 grams per tonne Ag and 0.038 gram per tonne Au. The zone strikes northeast and is at least 70 metres long and 30 metres wide (Assessment Report 37213).
