The BC Sugar West (Weather Station) graphite occurrence is located a west facing slope north of Latewhos Creek, approximately 3 kilometres east of Mabel Lake.
The area is underlain by metamorphic rocks of the Proterozoic to Paleozoic Kootenay (Shuswap) Assemblage. High-grade metamorphic rocks consisting primarily of gneiss with minor quartzite are intruded by a fine to medium-grained diorite.
Locally, an oxidized biotite-quartz-feldspar gneiss and calc-silicate gneiss host graphite with crystals up to 4 millimetres in size. Minor pyrite and pyrrhotite are also reported in the gneiss.
In 2013, a continuous chip sample assayed 3.16 per cent carbon over 5.2 metres, while 13 rock samples yielded from 1.44 to 4.38 per cent carbon (Assessment Report 35056). Another zone, located across the creek valley to the southeast near the Taylor Creek road, assayed up to 2.71 per cent carbon (Assessment Report 35056). The following year, rock samples yielded up to 4.2 per cent carbon (Assessment Report 35185). In 2015, sampling of a trench yielded 1.997 per cent carbon over 69 metres, including 2.73 per cent carbon over 30 metres (Assessment Report 36230).
During 2013 through 2015, Lithium Corporation completed programs of prospecting, rock sampling, minor trenching and a ground electromagnetic survey on the area as the BC Sugar property.
