The Lower Fisher Creek (Easy 5) occurrence is located on the north side of Fisher Creek, approximately 450 metres northeast of its creek mouth on Quesnel Lake.

Regionally, the area is underlain by augite, augite-olivine basalt, tuff and flow breccia with minor greywacke, mudstone and conglomerate. This sequence is underlain by argillites, slates, quartzites and phyllites. All units are part of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group.

Locally, a heavily weathered, altered zone of soft mafic greenish diorite hosts pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite mineralization. In 1989, two grab samples (89LCR-009 and 89LCR-012) assayed 2.28 and 2.14 grams per tonne gold and 1.6 and 27.0 grams per tonne silver with 0.049 and 0.480 per cent copper, respectively (Assessment Report 18989).

Work History

In 1989 and 1990, International Corona Corporation completed programs of rock and soil sampling, geological mapping and a 13.9 line-kilometre combined electromagnetic and magnetic survey on the area as the Likely property. 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.
