The South Slope area is underlain by a sequence of folded and faulted Upper Triassic clastic sedimentary rock units of the Stuhini Group. The sequences of clastic layered rocks consist of volcanic wackes and argillite interbeds.
In general, mineralized shears on the south slopes range from 0.1 to 0.5 metre in width, but were observed up to 4.5 metres (dip slope?) wide. True thicknesses were difficult to determine because of the dip slope attitudes at many of the showings. Most of these shears are comprised of argillically altered sediments, siliceous boudins, stringers and lenses of quartz and/or carbonate and an erratic and variable sulphide content. This sulphide content generally ranges up to 12 per cent pyrite, 7 per cent galena, 6 per cent sphalerite, 5 per cent arsenopyrite and 3 per cent pyrrhotite. These are found in the form of disseminations, fracture fillings, narrow (4 centimetres) stringers and blebs. Arsenopyrite and pyrrhotite were not observed in all of the mineralized shears. Chalcopyrite was also noted. Small pods and narrow stringers of semi-massive to massive sulphides were observed very locally. The siliceous boudins generally host only minor, disseminated pyrite.
Showings included in the South Slope group include: Adam, Piotr, WDW, RN, MIL, Honeymoon, Tourista, Tourista North, HGT and H&W. These form a discrete group occurring in an area of less than 500 by 1000 metres. Results include 4.11 grams per tonne gold, 156.0 grams per tonne silver, 4.27 per cent lead and 4.2 per cent zinc across 0.55 metre (Assessment Report 21219 (Honeymoon showing).
Exploration in 1990 and 1991 by Soloman Resources Ltd entailed geological mapping, trenching and sampling over the southern Ridge grid, as well as, the Handel, Chopin I and II claims (Assessment Report 21219). Prospecting and sampling yielded a number of new showings on the south slope of Snippaker Mountain. Refer to Bronson (104B 300) for a further details of a common work history.
