The Mount Hicks showing is located roughly 44 kilometres southwest of Kakiddi Lake, on a west facing slope, approximately 3.5 kilometres south-southeast of the Schaft Creek property (104G 015).
The Mount Hicks showing area is underlain by andestic and basaltic volcanic rock of the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group in contact to the immediate west with the Middle to Late Triassic Hickman pluton (Stikine Plutonic Suite) consisting of hornblende-quartz diorite to granodiorite and tonalite.
In the Mount Hicks area are rock samples with anomalous copper and gold. These are sample 1143986 with 6.94 per cent copper and 0.58 gram per tonne gold; and sample 1143985 with 2.38 per cent copper and 3.06 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 35967). Both samples were hosted by basalt. The 1143985 sample contained a 5 to 6 centimetre wide chlorite and epidote vein with copper oxides and chalcopyrite. The 1143986 sample was of purple basalt containing copper oxides and green alteration patches.
Work History.
In 2015, Teck Resource conducted soil and rock sampling over their Wolverine Creek grid area and nearby. Teck collected 116 rock samples for analysis, 56 were taken from the Mount LaCasse area to the north of the Schaft Creek deposit, and 60 from the Mount Hicks area to the south.
See Schaft Creek (104G 015) for further details of area geology and a common work history.
