This molybdenum-copper showing outcrops on either side of the Tulameen River, 13 kilometres west-southwest of the town of Tulameen.
The Red Gold occurrence is hosted in Upper Triassic Nicola Group metamorphic rocks, immediately east of the contact with the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous Eagle Plutonic Complex. The Nicola Group rocks in this vicinity are comprised of weakly skarned marbles and mica and chlorite schists of upper greenschist grade. These rocks dip steeply westward, parallel to the contact with schistose, medium-grained granodiorite of the Eagle Plutonic Complex. Dikes of granodiorite intruding the Nicola Group are boudinaged and folded by a regional deformation that appears to be either syn or post-mineralization.
A zone of disseminated molybdenite, chalcopyrite, bornite, pyrite and trace covellite occurs in a roadside quarry on the north side of the river, 250 metres west-northwest of the mouth of Champion Creek. Most of the mineralization is in the marbles, and lies close to the Eagle contact (0 to 10 metres distance). A sample taken across the face of a nearby adit assayed 1.4 grams per tonne gold, 17 grams per tonne silver and a trace of copper over 0.46 metre (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1913, page 234).
Similar mineralization occurs sporadically along a stretch of Champion Creek, beginning near the creek's mouth, and continuing upstream for about 1.5 kilometres. Disseminated molybdenite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and tetrahedrite are found in skarn-altered limestones in a gangue of quartz, reddish garnet, epidote, hornblende and pyroxene. High gold and silver assays are reported from this mineralization (Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 26, page 161).
The schists and marbles along Champion Creek are occasionally cut by shears containing near vertical quartz veins up to 6 centimetres wide. The veins are mineralized with pyrite, sphalerite and tetrahedrite. A sample of such a vein taken near an old adit, 200 metres south of the creek's mouth, analysed 0.044 gram per tonne gold, 7.8 grams per tonne silver and 0.7806 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 17324, page 4).
In 2016, Rain City Resources Ltd. completed a program of prospecting and rock sampling on then area as the Northern Champion property.
