The Bol occurrence, also known as the Boiling Peak prospect, is situated on the west side of Takla Lake, approximately 8 kilometres south of Takla Landing.

The area is underlain by andesitic to basaltic volcanics and minor sediments of the Middle Triassic to Lower Jurassic Takla Group east of the north-striking Takla fault. An elongate plug, about 3 kilometres in diameter, of granodiorite, diorite and/or quartz monzonite assigned to the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic Topley intrusions has been emplaced into these rocks.

Locally, trace to 0.3 per cent disseminated to blebby and fracture-filling chalcopyrite associated with pyrite and pyrrhotite have been identified in potassic-altered intrusives over an area of approximately 488 by 975 metres. Fine-grained disseminated molybdenite(?) in a feldspar-porphyry has also been identified in hand samples.

A reconnaissance geochemical soil survey on the Boiling Peak prospect returned values as high as 1000 parts per million copper. Chip samples of partially oxidized material from three shallow pits, 1.5 to 2.4 metres deep, returned copper values of 0.05 to 0.38 per cent (Property File Cyprus Anvil M.C. Erskine Jr., 1966).

Work History

In 1966, Taylor-Helicon Exploration staked the area and completed a program of prospecting, geochemical sampling, trenching and ground and airborne geophysical surveying. In 1967, Magnum Consolidated Mining Co. Ltd. optioned the property and conducted a program of geological mapping, geochemical sampling, geophysical surveys and a 24.39-metre EX-sized drillhole. An adit of unknown date and location is reported in the area.

In 1971, the area was staked and prospected by P. Bland as the Lulu 1-20 claims.

In 2010 and 2012, the area was prospected as the Bol 1 claim by Kenneth D. Galambos. In 2015, a historical data review was performed. In 2016, a program of rock and soil sampling was completed.
