This Popeye zone consists of mineralized Upper Triassic Stuhini Group feldspar-porphyritic andesite and Galore Creek Triassic to Jurassic syenite.

Mineralization exposed thus far extends for 65 metres, over an average trenched width of 2.8 metres, along a 042 degree trend. The dominant sulphide mineralization consists of up to 15 per cent disseminated pyrite, although a shear structure in the core of the zone also contains chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and galena with traces of covellite. The volcanics are strongly oxidized near the surface with abundant goethitic and jarositic boxworks. Chlorite, epidote, and potassium feldspar alteration are ubiquitous. Sulphide mineralization is weaker in the syenite, but gold assays are significantly higher, assaying up to 12.8 grams per tonne gold in a representative grab sample (Assessment Report 21061). A chip sample of the Popeye zone shear structure across 55 centimetres assayed 3.67 grams per tonne gold, 2.4 grams per tonne silver, 0.13 per cent lead, 0.096 per cent zinc and 0.05 per cent molybdenum (Assessment Report 21061).

At the end of the 1990 exploration program of Gigi Resources, the Popeye Zone, which is mostly covered by overburden, remained open along strike to the northeast and southwest.
