The LK occurrence is located near the top of a ridge south of the Cariboo River and east of the Quesnel River.
The area is within the Quesnel terrane of the Intermontane Belt near its eastern margin, adjacent to the Precambrian to Paleozoic rocks of the Omineca terrane. The dominant lithologies comprise red-brown weathering phyllite, grey siltstone and interbedded felsic tuffs, which form the lowermost part of the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Nicola Group. Formerly referred to as "black phyllite", this unit has been thrust onto the older rocks of the Omineca terrane, with which it has been deformed and metamorphosed, probably during the Middle to Late Jurassic.
Locally, former pits exposed epidote-carbonate-silica altered augite basalt in a shear zone approximately 5 to 10 metres wide. The zone hosts quartz veins and 1 to 2 per cent pyrite. In 1984, a chip sample (6217) assayed 0.535 gram per tonne gold across 4.0 metres, while a grab sample (6218) assayed 3.10 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 12778).
Work History
During 1984 through 1986, Mt. Calvery Resources completed programs of geological mapping, prospecting, trenching and geochemical sampling on the area as the June claims. In 2019 and 2020, KORE Mining Ltd. completed programs of prospecting and geochemical (rock and soil) sampling on the area as part of the South Cariboo property.
