Capsule Geology

The Cob (AM) occurrence is located south of the Nechako Reservoir and approximately 2 kilometres east of Kenney Lake.

The area is underlain by undivided sedimentary rocks of the Lower Cretaceous Skeena Group and andesitic volcanic rocks of the Cretaceous Kasalka Group which have been intruded by undivided intrusive rocks of the Eocene Coast Plutonic Complex(?).

Locally, disseminated pyrite, molybdenite and minor chalcopyrite in quartz veins occurs in andesitic volcanic rocks in the vicinity of granitic rocks of the Coast Plutonic Complex.

In 2007, rock sampling of fine-grained molybdenum occurring in quartz veinlets, along fractures, and as disseminations in andesite is reported to have yielded values up to 0.135 per cent molybdenum (Lane, B. (2009-08-20): Summary Report on the Deer Horn Property).

Work History

In 2006, Guardsman Resources Inc. optioned the property to Christopher James Gold Corp. who completed reconnaissance geochemical sampling programs in 2006 and 2007. Christopher James Gold Corp. later dropped their option. In 2009, Golden Odyssey Mining Inc. optioned the Deer Horn property from Guardsman Resources Inc.

A completed regional exploration history can be found at the Deer Horn (MINFILE 093E 019) occurrence.
