The Hotai occurrence is located on a plateau west of Tees Creek and approximately 9.5 kilometres south- south east of the south end of Tsenaglode Lake.

The area is underlain by mudstone, siltstone, shale and undivided volcanic rocks of the Middle Triassic Stuhini Group which have been intruded by Upper Triassic quartz monzonitic and quartz dioritic rocks.

Locally, a potassium feldspar vein hosts blebby bornite mineralization in a strongly silicified and pyritic epiclastic and turbiditic sediments with 1 to 3 percent pyrite, minor arsenopyrite and trace chalcopyrite occur in hairline fractures as well as minor disseminations within finer grained beds. Fine to coarse grained, magnetic, equigranular hornblende diorite is exposed to the south.

In 2012, a rock sample (966990) assayed 0.567 per cent copper, 3.7 grams per tonne silver and 0.074 gram per tonne gold (Bowen, B.K. (2013-04-30): Technical Report on the Galaxie Project).

Work History

In 2011, Finsbury Exploration Ltd carried out exploration over the Property as part of a soil and silt sampling program over a much larger 168,983 hectare property area known as the Galaxie property.

In 2012, Quartz Mountain Resources Ltd, on the Galaxie property, conducted systematic soil and IP surveys over eight high-priority grids and two target areas identified by the 2011 stream sediment and soil geochemical results. This work included an IP survey over almost the entirety of title 512878 and the southeastern third of title 604847.
