The Katz occurrence is located on the eastern slope of Zus Mountain, west of Quartzrock Creek and approximately 9 kilometres northeast of the historical community of Cassiar.

The area is underlain by basaltic volcanic rocks and gabbroic to dioritic intrusive rocks of the Pennsylvanian to Permian Slide Mountain Complex.

Locally, a chlorite- and sericite-altered metadiorite hosts trace to 0.5 per cent pyrrhotite with anomalous copper and gold values.

In 1980, a rock sample (19256R) assayed 0.076 per cent copper and 0.260 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 9343).

Work History

In 1979 and 1980, Canadian Occidental Petroleum completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping and geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling on the area as the Kaz 1-4 claims of the Watsu property.
