The Snowy Creek showing area is underlain by a stock of the Early Jurassic Texas Creek Plutonic suite consisting of monzodiorite to gabbro which is in contact with marine sedimentary and volcanic rock of the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group.

Sample 32640 was taken at an elevation of 710 metres on Snowy Creek in an area of crystal tuff The sample, from a ten centimetre wide quartz vein containing pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite, returned a value of 1.66 per cent copper but gold and other metals were low (Assessment Report 20775).

Work History

In 1989, Consolidated Goldwest Resources Ltd carried out reconnaissance exploration on the B.W. claims, taking 22 field-sieved stream sediment samples, one silt sample and seven rock samples. High gold values were obtained from three stream sediment samples from Snowy, Mouse and Notch Creeks which drain from a gossanous area.

In 1990, Consolidated Goldwest Resources Ltd carried out three days of exploration on the Anuk River South (BW) claim group, consisting of geological mapping and prospecting. Prospecting and reconnaissance geology were carried out using a 1:10,000 topographic orthophoto as a base. A total of 19 rock samples were collected (Assessment Report 20775).
