The Red Reef East occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 1300 metres on a west-northwest–facing slope, east of the Bear River and approximately 2 kilometres east of the community of Stewart.

The area is underlain by andesitic volcanic rocks of the Lower Jurassic Unuk Formation (Hazelton Group).

Locally, an area of pyritized tuffs hosts quartz veins with silver and gold values.

In 1986, a rock sample (L105N 50E) assayed 51.0 grams per tonne silver and 1.44 grams per tonne gold, whereas another sample (L0N 30W) assayed 4.75 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 15813).

Work History

During 1984 through 1987, Teuton Resources Corp. completed programs of prospecting, geochemical (rock, soil and stream sediment) sampling and a 24 line-kilometre airborne geophysical survey on the area as the Red Reef claim.

In 1990, Amphora Resources completed an 8.1 line-kilometre airborne magnetic and electromagnetic (VLF) survey on the area.

In 2018, Granby Gold Inc. completed an 88.25 line-kilometre airborne magnetic and gamma-ray spectrometry survey on the area.
