Capsule Geology

The Honey Pot occurrence is located on a west facing slope approximately 7 kilometres east of Tahltan Lake.

The area is underlain by marine sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group which has been intruded by a pluton of Triassic to Jurassic diorite to granodiorite.

Locally, an east-northeast dipping quartz-sericite-arsenopyrite-chalcopyrite vein cuts a strongly fractured phyllite.

In 2013, a float sample from the area assayed 9.51 grams per tonne gold, 21 grams per tonne silver and 1.11 per cent copper (Pautler, J. (2019-05-31): Technical Report on the GK Project).

In 2018, a chip sample is reported to have assayed 20.2 grams per tonne gold, 16.9 grams per tonne silver and 0.32 per cent copper over 0.70 metre (Pautler, J. (2019-05-31): Technical Report on the GK Project).

A broad, 400 by 600 metre copper-gold-silver soil anomaly (Anomaly F) with peak values of 1005 parts per million copper, 265 parts per million gold and 39 parts per million silver was delineated in 2018 approximately 700 metres north east of the Honey Pot occurrence and does not correspond to any known mineralization. It is underlain by volcanic rocks sandwiched between intrusive rocks to the north and south on a steep, east-facing cirque.

The area has been explored in conjunction with the nearby Winter Creek (MINFILE 104G 003) occurrence and a completed regional exploration history can be found there. The occurrence was discovered in 2013.
