The Uhura occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 1160 metres on a northwest-facing slope, approximately 2 kilometres west-northwest 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, the type and style of mineralization is not reported but is likely similar to other occurrences in the area, which comprise shear-related quartz±carbonate-sulphide veins.

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. During this time, 10 samples from Uhura occurrence yielded from 0.1 to 1 gram per tonne gold, whereas 4 samples yielded greater than 10 grams per tonne gold (Equity Exploration Consultants Ltd.
