Capsule Geology

The Hickman Copper-Gold prospect is a newly discovered (2020) area of copper-gold-silver mineralization located about 6 kilometres from the Schaft Creek deposit. An approximate area of 4.5 by 1.5 kilometres defines a strong copper-in-soil geochemical anomaly. The area is underlain by greenstone and undivided volcanic rock of Upper Triassic Stuhini Group intruded by the Middle to Late Triassic quartz diorite Hickman Pluton of the Stikine Plutonic Suite.

Five rock samples (3 float) yielded values greater than 0.5 per cent copper; one outcrop grab sample graded 5.29 per cent copper, 0.28 gram per tonne gold and 6.29 grams per tonne silver (Golden Ridge Resources Ltd., Press Release January 8, 2020). Soil samples results up to 7,170 parts per million copper were obtained, with 11 soil samples yielding greater than 1000 parts per million copper (Golden Ridge Resources Ltd., Press Release January 8, 2020). The anomaly remains open to the northwest.

In 2019, Golden Ridge Resources Ltd completed eleven reconnaissance soil lines and 276 soil samples and 14 rock samples were collected. No historic work is recorded for the area of the anomalous zone which was targeted in 2019 to test a colour anomaly lying just 6 kilometres southwest of Schaft Creek deposit (104G 015).
