The Lemare 2 occurrence is located west of Le Mare Lake, approximately 0.5 kilometre from the coast.

The area is entirely underlain by Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group intermediate to felsic volcanic flows and pyroclastics. The rocks have undergone low grade metamorphism as exhibited by the presence of zeolite and laumontite.

At the occurrence, heavily pyritized flow banded rhyolite, dacite tuffs and flows are intruded by 1- to 2-metre-thick andesite dykes. Strong faulting and fracturing are present. A zone of finely disseminated pyrite, occasionally with chalcopyrite, bornite and malachite on fractures, has been traced for 300 metres.

Chip samples assayed up to 0.14 per cent copper. Grab samples returned values to 0.49 per cent copper (Assessment Report 8593). In 2010, a composite grab sample returned values of 6.57 per cent copper and 6.2 grams per tonne silver (N10-3; Assessment Report 31412).

Work History

In 1979 the Le Mare claims were staked, and the following year prospected by Brinco. In 1998, Phelps Dodge completed a program of prospecting on the Lem property. In 2007, Homegold Resources completed a program of prospecting and geochemical sampling on the Farwest claims. During 2008 through 2012, New Destiny Mining completed various programs of geological mapping, prospecting and geochemical sampling on the Le Mare claims. In 2014, a small program of geological mapping, prospecting and examination of workings was conducted by J.T. Shearer, the property owner. In 2016, J.T. Shearer completed a further program of geological mapping on the Le Mare property. The property was examined in 2017 by W.B. Lennan on the behalf of Le Mare Gold Corp. Also at th is time, J.T. Shearer completed a minor program of rock sampling and a 6.1 line-kilometre ground magnetic survey on the LeMare property. In 2020, J.T. Shearer completed a minor program of rock sampling and a 5.8 line-kilometre induced polarization survey on the Le Mare property.
