Capsule Geology

The Bear occurrence is located 7 kilometres north of Tootsee Lake, about 6 kilometres south of the British Columbia-Yukon border.

Trenching has exposed two stratabound skarn bodies up to 1 metre wide and 10 metres apart, conformable to steeply south dipping, Cambrian-Ordovician Kechika Group(?) limestone and interbedded phyllite. Fine to coarse grained garnet-diopside skarn contains scheelite, molybdenite, powellite and minor galena.

In 1983, rock sample no. 10 (80760) with visible galena(?) assayed 0.92 per cent lead, 0.41 per cent zinc and 49.4 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 11309).

In 1979, a small tungsten skarn on the Fly 1 and 2 claims was explored by DuPont of Canada Exploration but little attention was paid to silver-lead-zinc anomalies that were located. A trench on one anomaly revealed only a narrow high-grade vein (galena, sphalerite, pyrargyrite) in limestone. In 1983-84, small soil sampling, prospecting and VLF-EM programs were carried out. In 1985, Reg Resources Corp. completed a VLF-EM survey in order to upgrade a VLF-EM conductor located in previous work to delineate targets for drilling. In addition to the electromagnetic survey, a drift-corrected total field magnetometer survey was completed because of the skarn potential of the area.
