The Mouse 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 32610 was taken at an elevation of 720 metres just east of Mouse Creek. The sample is from a quartz-pyrite-chalcopyrite-galena-sphalerite pod in crystal tuff was 5 by 30 centimetres. The sample yielded values of 1.61 per cent lead, 1.26 per cent zinc and 0.094 per cent copper, with low gold and silver values (Assessment Report 20775). Several other veins in this area were sampled without significant results. They are generally narrow and discontinuous and appear to be tension veins related to minor steeply dipping, north trending faults.

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 was carried out and total of 19 rock samples were collected (Assessment Report 20775).
