The Dog South occurrence is located on the southwestern side of Spanish Mountain, at an elevation of approximately 1200 metres and approximately 1.8 kilometres north of the north end of Nina 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 rusty, 9 centimetre wide quartz vein with well-developed honeycomb structure hosts sheared galena and native gold.

In 1989, a sample (74493-3) assayed 8.13 grams per tonne gold and 17.0 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 18989).

In 2006, a rock sample taken from area is reported to have yielded greater than 10.01 grams per tonne gold (Singh, B. (2008-02-11): Technical Report on the Spanish Mountain Property).

Work History

The area has been explored in conjunction with the nearby Spanish Mountain (MINFILE 093A 043) occurrence and a full regional geology and work history summary can be found there.

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.

During 2005 through 2012, Skygold Ventures (Spanish Mountain Gold Ltd.) completed programs of rock and soil sampling, geological mapping and geophysical surveys on the area as apart of the Spanish Mountain property.
