The Samuelson occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 1270 metres on a steep, generally east-facing slope, approximately 1.6 kilometres west-southwest of the north end of Summit Lake.

The area is underlain by andesitic volcanic rocks of the Lower Jurassic Unuk River Formation (Hazelton Group), which have been intruded by granodioritic rocks of the Lower Jurassic Texas Creek or Summit Lake stock.

Locally, shear veins host gold values. High-grade, pyrrhotite-bearing float boulders are also reported in the area.

Historical sampling of high-grade float boulders in the area is reported to have yielded up to 565.5 grams per tonne gold and 8456 grams per tonne silver, whereas during 2018 through 2020, 20 samples from various shear veins yielded up to 76.9 grams per tonne gold and 6 additional samples yielded from 1 to 10 grams per tonne gold (Equity Exploration Consultants Ltd. [2021-06-07]: Technical Report on the Scottie Gold Mine Property, British Columbia, Canada).

Work History

The area has been historically explored in conjunction with the nearby Scottie Gold (MINFILE 104B 034) occurrence and a completed regional exploration history can be found there.

During 2018 through 2020, Scottie Resources Corp. completed programs of rock and auger (tailings) sampling, airborne and ground geophysical surveys and diamond drilling on the Scottie Gold property.
