The Knob showing area is underlain by Lower Permian limestone and sedimentary rock of the Stikine Assemblage.

The showing consists of predominately massive pyrite along the contact between a granodioritic dyke and skarn. Rock samples assayed up to 19.51 per cent iron, 0.11 per cent copper, 7.5 grams per tonne silver and 0.8 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 21192). There is intense skarning of the limestone in this area; however extensive prospecting and soil geochemistry did not come up with anything of significance.

Work History

In 1989, one day was spent prospecting the claims on behalf of Golden Arrow Resources Ltd. At this time, 11 rock samples were collected. No results of any significance were encountered.

In 1990, Golden Arrow conducted a program of geological mapping, prospecting, contour soil sampling, rock geochemistry and minor trenching. A total of 54 man-days were spent on the claims during which 531 soil samples, 18 stream sediment silt samples and 98 rock samples were collected. During this time four new showings were documented: Swimshow, Waterfall, Gully and Knob.
