This occurrence is centred 1.6 kilometres west-northwest of the summit of Selish Mountain and 16 kilometres west-northwest of Aspen Grove.

Selish Mountain is primarily underlain by andesitic flows and pyroclastics of the Western volcanic facies of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group. These rocks are intruded by a large dioritic to gabbroic stock, which underlies much of the southern flank of Selish Mountain. This stock may be part of a suite of Late Triassic to Early Jurassic dioritic to monzonitic intrusions found in Nicola Group rocks that may be comagmatic with the Nicola Group.

Mineralization occurs over a 1500 by 1000 metres area bounded to the south by the northern margin of the stock, which follows the west- trending crest of Selish Mountain. The volcanics exhibit some epidote, chlorite, sericite and minor orthoclase alteration in this area. The rocks are cut by west-striking fractures dipping steeply north, along some of which quartz veining and silicification has occurred.

Mineralization consists of minor chalcopyrite, pyrite and bornite, with associated limonite and malachite, primarily in massive andesite, but also in pyroclastics and diorite. The sulphides occur as disseminations and small pods in quartz stringers and in silicified volcanics.

Work History

The occurrence was first explored by Torwest Resources Ltd. in 1965 and 1966. The company conducted geological and induced polarization surveys, trenching and 460 metres of diamond drilling in seven holes. No results of the drilling or trenching are known.

Craigmont Mines Ltd. completed geological, magnetometer and soil geochemical surveys over the showing in 1970. In 1974, Greenwood Explorations Ltd. examined the area as the J 1-6 claims.

In 2014, Tech-X Resources Ltd. completed a program of geological mapping and geochemical (rock and soil) sampling on the area as the Selish Mountain property.

In 2019, Rich River Exploration Ltd. completed a program rock and silt sampling on the area as the Canadian Comstock property.
