The George 1 (North Creek) occurrence is located west of the Adam River, at an elevation of approximately 380 metres.

The area is underlain by volcanic rocks and minor sediments of the Upper Triassic Vancouver Group and crystalline rocks of the Jurassic Island Plutonic suite. The Vancouver Group include a thick sequence of tholeiitic basalts (Karmutsen Formation), overlain by carbonates (Quatsino Formation).

Locally, massive, and amygdaloidal basalts are faulted and exhibit quartz, epidote, calcite, and chlorite alteration. Chalcopyrite and bornite mineralization occur as veinlets, small lenses, and as disseminations. Chalcocite may be present.

In 1969, a visual estimate of 4 trenches averages 0.25 per cent copper over a width of 1.6 metres (Assessment Report 1993, page 10).

Work History

In 1969, Bethlehem Copper completed a program of geological mapping and soil sampling on the area as the Boyes claims. In 1971, Conoco Silver Mines completed a program of soil sampling and an induced polarization survey. In 1991, West Pride Industries completed a program of geological mapping, rock -, silt -, and soil sampling, as well as sampling of previous drill cores on the area as the Boyes 1-5 claims, Adam River property. During 2006 through 2013, M. Schau completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping, and rock sampling on the area as the Kringle South property. During 2018 through 2020, Altum Resource Corp. completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping, geochemical (rock and soil) sampling, a 3.5 line-kilometre induced polarization survey, and a 361.0 line-kilometre airborne magnetometer survey on the area as the Adam West property.
