The Silver Standard showing is approximately 3.0 kilometres southeast of the Mabon (North ROK) developed prospect and 6.5 kilometres southeast of the village of Iskut. Refer to the MFJ prospect (104H 001) for local work history and updated local geology.
In 2013, OZ Exploration Pty Ltd carried out an exploration program on the ROK Coyote project area, under a Joint Venture agreement with Firesteel Resources Inc (Assessment Report 35259). OZ drilled 1740 metres in 3 three diamond-drill holes, conducted 26.5 line-kilometres of 3D offset line pole-dipole IP/resistivity surveying, completed 316 line-kilometres of airborne magnetic and radiometric surveying and a total of 3500 hectares of geological mapping was completed. Eight MINFILE occurrences were covered by the airborne survey with 4 of these also being covered by the IP/Resistivity survey. The Coyote 3 was covered only by the airborne survey. See MFJ (104H 001), O.K. (104H 046) and B18 (104H 032) for drill results. See MFJ for further details on the 2013 work.
In 2017, Colorado Resources entered into a purchase agreement, with Firesteel Resources Ltd. to acquire a 100 per cent interest in the ROK-COYOTE copper gold property. The ROK-COYOTE property occurs immediately south and east on trend of Colorado’s North ROK property and immediately north and west of Imperial Metals Red Chris property.
The Silver Standard showing is one of seven anomalous areas with greater than 200 parts per million copper plus elevated gold in soils, determined from historic and 2017 soil sampling, that characterize a nine-kilometre-long favourable mineralized trend. The trend extends from the Mabon (North ROK) developed prospect, southeast to Ealue Lake (Colorado Resources News Releases November 21, 2017, January 18, 2018).
A piece of rock float sampled during the 2017 rock sampling program assayed 8.93 per cent copper and 0.02 gram per tonne gold (Colorado News release November 21, 2017).
On Sept 16 of 2020, Colorado Resources announced that it had changed its name to “QuestEx Gold & Copper Ltd.” effective September 28, 2020.
