The Big Red Six showing area is underlain by monzodioritic to gabbroic intrusive rock of the Early Jurassic Limpoke pluton of the Texas Creek plutonic suite, near its contact with sedimentary and minor volcanic rocks of the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group.

BR-6 was a 2014 grab sample consisting of monzonite with 3 to 5 per cent pyrite and pyrrhotite and trace chalcopyrite. Sample BR-6 assayed 0.16 per cent copper, 0.6 gram per tonne silver and 21.5 parts per billion gold (Assessment Report 35466). Sample BR-8 is an angular fist-sized piece of float material, located about 300 metres west of Big Red Six, consisting of semi-massive pyrite, pyrrhotite and 1 to 2 per cent chalcopyrite. BR-8 assayed greater than 1 per cent copper, 12.2 grams per tonne silver, 0.01 per cent molybdenum and 31.8 parts per billion gold (Assessment Report 35466).

Work History

In 2014, Divitiae Resources spent 2 weeks on its Big Red property which covered 18 MINFILE occurrences. Divitiae collected 12 rock samples in the southern portion of the property. Selective samples ran above 1 per cent copper (Assessment Report 35466).

By 2017, Divitiae had expanded their Big Red claim group extending it 5 kilometres more to the west, covering the Poker (104G 149) occurrence. Divitiae changed the property name from Big Red to River of Gold and undertook an airborne magnetic and radiometric survey in late September that covered all of the River of Gold claims totalling 536 line-kilometres. In October of 2017, preliminary prospecting was completed on high probability anomalies generated by previous ASTER analysis, and the new airborne geophysics. At this time 64 rock samples were collected. Work on the northern portion of the property failed to find any samples to be assayed. The complete airborne geophysical survey report is attached as an appendix within assessment Report 36930).

See New Limpoke (104G 024) for detailed information for 2017 ASTER results.

In 2019 and 2020, Libero Copper and Gold Corp. completed programs of geological mapping; geochemical (rock, soil and talus fines) sampling; a 549 line-kilometre airborne electromagnetic (ZTEM) survey; three diamond drill holes, totalling 610.0 metres, and 24 reverse-circulation drill holes, totalling 3527.5 metres, on the area as the Big Red property.
