The Daly-Sullivan South occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 1400 metres on a west-northwest-facing slope, approximately 2 kilometres southeast of the south end of Monitor Lake.

The area is underlain by volcaniclastic rocks of the Lower Jurassic Betty Creek Formation, calc-alkaline volcanic rocks of the Middle to Upper Jurassic Mount Dilworth Formation and undivided sedimentary rocks of the Middle to Upper Jurassic Hazelton Group.

Locally, a gold-silver bearing quartz-carbonate vein system has been identified cutting a succession of mafic to intermediate, pillowed and brecciated flows and coarsely bedded volcaniclastic rock of the Betty Creek Formation(?). The veins strike north-northwest and dip moderately to steeply to the west-southwest. The volcanic succession is folded but generally bedding and stratigraphy contacts are reported to strike just west of north and dip moderately east-northeast. The package is also cut by northwest-trending mafic dikes and silicified and pyritic shear zones.

In 2019, samples from the occurrence yielded values of up to 3.63 grams per tonne gold and 161 grams per tonne silver (Bravewolf Consulting [2020-07-17]: 2020 Technical (NI 43-101) Report on the Independence and Slippery Ian Properties).

Work History

In 2017, Richard Billingsley completed an airborne magnetic survey on the area. In 2019, AUX Resources Corp. completed a program of prospecting, geological mapping and rock sampling on the area as the Independence and Slippery Ian properties.
