The Liger Shear showing is located on Sommerfeld Ridge, south of Leadville Creek, approximately 25.5 kilometres northeast of Creston. The showing has been explored since 2010 by Fjordland Resources Ltd. as a part of the Big Kahuna property. Previous work was completed by a local prospector, Craig Kennedy, during the 1990’s and later by Kootenay Gold Inc.

Regionally, the area is underlain by clastic sediments of the Middle Aldridge and Creston Formations, part of the Proterozoic Belt–Purcell Supergroup. A sequence of possible Cambrian age shallow- water sediments has been mapped in the north-central portion of Leadville Creek. Structure in the area is dominated by the northwest- trending Leadville Creek Fault and the northeast- trending Old Baldy Fault.

Locally, mineralization is hosted in sheared and brecciated Middle Aldridge sediments with visible gold noted in a number of locations across a 315 metre area veining and alteration.

Work History

During 2009, 32 samples were collected from the area with the highest gold values in sample MK09 65 returning 18406 parts per billion gold, 1693 parts per million lead and 887 parts per million zinc. Six samples contained multi-gram gold, and 16 samples contained gold values greater than 100 parts per billion (Assessment Report 31586).

In 2019, DLP Resources Inc. completed a program of geological mapping on the area as the JR and RJ properties.
