The Climax occurrence is mapped as being located on a high ridge, approximately 2.2 kilometres west- southwest of Canyon Creekâs mouth.
The area where the occurrence is located (from Minister of Mines Annual Reports) is underlain by Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group andesite flows and tuffs.
After the 1902 and 1906 descriptions in Minister of Mines Annual Reports, the occurrence is "lost". It may have been renamed or incorporated with others (Edison - MINFILE 092L 104 and Yreka - MINFILE 092L 052).
Work History
The area has been explored in conjunction with the Yreka (MINFILE 092L 052) mine and was first staked in 1898. In 1970 and 1971, Green Eagle Mines completed programs of airborne electromagnetic and magnetic geophysical surveys, rock and soil sampling and ground magnetic survey on the area. In 1972, Iso Explorations completed a program of ground geophysical surveys, geological mapping and soil sampling. In 1998 and 1999, Talltree Resources completed programs of rock and soil sampling, geological mapping and a ground electromagnetic survey on the area. During 2015 through 2019, Karmamount Mineral Exploration Inc. completed minor programs of geological mapping and geochemical (rock and soil) and biogeochemical sampling and a 12.9 line-kilometre induced polarization survey on the area as the Yreka property.
