The Moffat East showing is located approximately 5 kilometres north of Eagle (Murphy) lake and 25 kilometres west of 150 Mile House.
The Moffat property is underlain by the Late Triassic to Early Jurassic Takomkane batholith.
Mineralization has been noted to consist mainly of veinlet-hosted chalcopyrite. The gold zone found in drillhole MOF-05 was found in a series of albite-quartz-kspar-hematite veins and quartz calcite veins in brecciated monzonite (Assessment Report 32716).
Work History
In 1993 Pioneer Metals Corp completed prospecting traverses and a soil sampling program. Follow-up programs consisted of a soil sampling program conducted in 1997 by Norian Resources Corp.
In 2005, an airborne gamma-ray spectrometric and aeromagnetic survey was flown over the property (Murphy Lake Geophysical Survey, Geological Survey of Canada Open File 5292).
In 2010, Fjordland Exploration Inc. completed programs, including prospecting, soil geochemistry and 11 kilometres of IP geophysical surveys. Highlights of this program include sample MR-10-05, which assayed 0.29 gram per tonne gold, 6.94 grams per tonne silver and 0.36 per cent copper (Assessment Report 31872).
In 2011, Fjordland Exploration Inc. completed geochemical soil sampling, IP geophysical surveys, geological mapping and diamond drilling. Highlights include drillhole MOF-05, which returned 9.9 metres grading 3.5 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 32716).
