The Fin 2 occurrence is located the north side of a north-northwest–trending ridge, southeast of Finlayson Creek and approximately 5.5 kilometres southeast the creeks junction with McDame Creek.

Regionally, the area is underlain by limestone, slate, siltstone, argillite, fine clastic sedimentary rocks and basaltic volcanic rocks of the Upper Paleozoic Slide Mountain Complex.

Locally, quartz veins, varying from 0.3 to 0.6 metre wide, in a wider quartz-veined zone, up to 20 metres wide, are hosted in interlayered cherts and greenstones and carry minor gold and silver values.

In 1984, a chip sample from a 0.6-metre-wide vein assayed 16.3 grams per tonne silver, whereas another chip sample from a 0.3-metre-wide vein, taken along the ridge several hundred metres to the south of the previous sample, yielded 0.6 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 13261).

Work History

In 1984, Erickson Gold Mining completed a program of prospecting, geological mapping and geochemical (rock and soil) sampling on the area immediately north of the occurrence as the Fire, Hot, Jam, Lite and Log claims.

During 2008 through 2010, Hawthorne Gold Corp., later China Minerals Mining Corp., completed regional programs of geological mapping, geochemical (rock and soil) sampling and 11,657 line-kilometres of airborne magnetic, radiometric and electromagnetic surveys on the area as the Cassiar Gold property.

In 2013, China Minerals Mining Corp. completed a program of rock, silt and soil sampling on the area.

In 2019, Margaux Resources completed a program of prospecting, geological mapping and rock sampling on the area as the Cassiar Gold property. In 2020, Cassiar Gold Corp. completed a program of regional photogeological interpretation, prospecting and rock sampling on the Cassiar Gold property.
