The Ram showing is located 9 kilometres west of Blue Sheep Lake, approximately 105 kilometres northeast of the community of Dease Lake.

Lithologies in the occurrence area include mafic volcanic flows and tuffs, as well as chert and argillite of the Permian Slide Mountain Complex (Blue Dome fault zone). Numerous small-scale faults are evident with associated silicification.

A number of the faults host gossans, and in the case of one cutting a silicified knob, sphalerite-galena veins were discovered.

Rock sample 316677 was taken from a narrow fault zone hosting heavily oxidized sphalerite-galena in silicified basalt. This sample assayed 4.8 per cent zinc and 3.62 per cent lead, with 88.8 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 25167).

Work History

In 1982, Amoco Canada Petroleum Co. Ltd. completed a program of geological mapping and soil sampling on the area as the Range claims. Soil sampling outlined two areas of anomalous lead-zinc values. Also at this time, Atna Resources Ltd. completed a geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling program on the area immediately northeast as the Horn property.

In 1997, Hunter Exploration Group conducted mapping, prospecting and rock and silt sampling. Twenty-nine rock samples, 11 silt samples, and 12 soil samples were collected over the course of the program.

In 2005, an airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey totalling 2,130 line-kilometres was flown over the area immediately east as Thrust property on behalf of United Exploration Management Inc.

In 2012, BCarlin Resources Ltd. completed a program of rock and silt sampling on the area as the B 1-100 claims of the Blue Sheep property.
