The Flory 2 showing is situated on an upper west-facing ridge side above Unuk River. The location is approximately 65 kilometres southwest of Bell 2 Lodge on Highway 37 and 62 kilometres northwest of Stewart, B.C.
The Flory 2 showing occurs in an area of sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group that are intruded by Tertiary plutons to the south and east and Late Triasssic dioritic rock of the Stikine (McQuillan) Plutonic Suite to the north.
Several quartz veins, 20 to 50 centimetres wide, occur within andesites in the north central Flory 2 (Valkyrie 4) claim. These veins can widen to 2 meters over short distances. Grab samples showed elevated to anomalous values in gold, silver, copper and/or zinc. Grades more than 40 grams per tonne silver and 0.3 gram per tonne gold are common, with one 20-centimetre vein running 149.7 grams per tonne silver, 0.79 gram per tonne gold and 0.82 per cent copper (Assessment Report 19687).
Colorado Resources reported that two float samples (2640188 and 2640189) of quartz-vein breccia in siltstone boulders, collected about 350 metres down-drainage from the Flory 2 showing, yielded significant results. Sample 2640189 assayed 1.12 grams per tonne gold, 68.1 grams per tonne silver and 0.73 per cent copper (Assessment Report 36656).
Work History
In 1987, a reconnaissance mapping, prospecting, and geochemical sampling program was conducted over several claim groups in the Unuk River area by Axiom Explorations Ltd. Four man-days of exploration were completed on the Flory 1 to 4 mineral claims. No mineralization was located. In total 111 rock and 78 silt samples were collected.
An airborne electromagnetic and magnetic survey was flown over the Flory property in 1988. Several northeast trending conductors were delineated throughout the property. Several magnetic high areas were outlined by the survey. These may be delineating either underlying sills and dikes or magnetite-enriched areas within the underlying andesites.
In 1989, Prolific Resources Ltd, conducted a program of prospecting, collecting a total of 87 rock, 19 stream silt, and 13 heavy mineral samples.
In 1990, Universal Trident Industries Ltd conducted an exploration program on their Valkyrie 1-4, Deb 1-2, Sam 1-4 and Beowulf 1-2, collecting 72 rock, 88 soil, 17 heavy minerals and 6 silt. The Valkyrie cover the same ground as the lapsed Flory 1-4 claims.
In 2006 and 2007, Hathor Exploration Ltd. completed a 7228.7 line-kilometre airborne geophysical survey on the area as the Flory claims of the Iskut project. In 2008, Max Minerals Ltd. examined the property.
In 2016, Colorado Resources Ltd completed a reconnaissance exploration program on their King Pin Property which covered the Flory 2 and 35 other MINFILE occurrences on the property. Work included the collection of 147 rock chip and grab samples and a total of 129 soil samples (Assessment Report 36656).
