The Bottle occurrence is located about 2 kilometres south of Tenakihi Lakes approximately 63 kilometres northwest of the community of Germansen Landing.

At the Bottle showing, multiple occurrences of chalcopyrite, chalcocite, malachite and azurite occur in brecciated quartz-chalcedony veins in ankerite-veined and altered zones (up to 1 metre wide) in Upper Triassic Takla Group volcanic rocks. The mineralization is very near the contact with Early Jurassic Hogem Plutonic Suite monzonite. Takla Group volcanics in the area consist of augite phyric agglomerates, basalts and tuffs of the Plughat Mountain Formation.

In 1991, a sample taken at this location assayed 0.5 per cent copper, 0.21 per cent antimony and 0.013 per cent mercury (Open File 1992-11, Map Number 28; S. Dudka, unpublished data, 1992).

Work History

In 2013, a two-day helicopter-supported prospecting and soil geochemical sampling program was carried out on behalf of Canasil Resources Inc. to evaluate limited areas of the western part of the Vega property. This work covered the Pluto (094C 019), Bottle and Ten (Northeast) (094C 134) occurrences. The Vega property encompasses six occurrences: Pluto, Thane (094C 020), Vega (094C 021), MJW (094C 108), Bottle (this description), and Ten.

In 2020, Interra Copper Corp. completed a program of geological mapping, geochemical (rock, soil and stream sediment) sampling and a 14.0 line-kilometre induced polarization survey on the area as the Thane property.
