The Dalrymple occurrence is located approximately 2.5 kilometres south-southwest of the south end of Kidd Lake and 2.3 kilometres northeast of the north end of Dodds Lake.

Regionally, the area is underlain by the Upper Triassic Nicola Group, which regionally consists of alkalic and calc-alkalic volcanics and intrusions of island arc origin, and which is the principal component of the Quesnel terrane in southern British Columbia (Geological Survey of Canada Maps 41-1989, 1713A). The area lies in the Central Belt or facies of the Nicola Group (after Preto, Bulletin 69). This belt of rocks mainly consists of subaerial and submarine, red or purple to green augite plagioclase porphyritic andesitic and basaltic flows, volcanic breccia and tuff, and minor argillites and limestone. The volcanics are intruded by bodies of comagmatic Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic diorite to monzonite. The area is characterized by long-lived, primarily north-striking faults and related fracturing, which originally controlled intrusion emplacement. East-striking faults are subordinate, and commonly offset intrusive contacts.

Locally, quartz-epidote-carbonate veinlets mineralized with chalcopyrite and malachite occur in andesite and dacite of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group (Western Belt, Bulletin 69).

In 1982, a rock sample assayed 0.18 per cent copper and 0.9 gram per tonne silver (Assessment Report 10497, page 6, sample PR-4).

Work History

In 1982, Lornex Mining Corp. Ltd. completed a program of geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling and a ground magnetic survey on the area as the Dalrymple claims.

In 2006, Bold Ventures Inc. completed a program of geochemical (rock and soil) sampling and a 28.0 line-kilometre induced polarization survey on the area as the Casper claims of the Kentucky Lake property.

In 2014, Enduro Metals Corp. completed a photogeological structural (lineament) analysis on the area as the Casper West claim of the Tom Cat property. The following year, a further photogeological structural (lineament) analysis and a 2.1 line-kilometre ground magnetic survey was completed on the area immediately east of the occurrence.
