The Squingula occurrence, located on Zone C, is approximately 10.5 kilometres north of Motase Peak and about 156 kilometres north of the town of Smithers. This occurrence consists of three zones; Zone A is 600 metres northeast of Zone C, and Zone B is 400 metres west of Zone C (Assessment Report 15355).
The hostrocks are greywackes, argillites and minor conglomerates (and their metamorphic equivalents) of the Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous Bowser Lake Group. These rocks are intruded by granodiorites and granodiorite feldspar porphyry dikes possibly related to and contemporaneous with the Late Cretaceous Bulkley Plutonic Suite.
The strata, folded near the intrusion, strikes northwest and dips 40 to 60 degrees southwest. Shear zones, cutting through all rock types, strike 060 to 080 degrees and 160 to 180 degrees.
Minor to intense carbonatization, silicification, sericitization and argillic alteration occur in the rocks. Intense silicification is associated with the shear zones. Mineralization is associated with shear zones cutting intrusions and metasediments and consists of chalcopyrite, galena, tetrahedrite and abundant (up to 10 per cent) pyrite. Higher values of gold and silver are associated with the silicified and sheared contact between the granodiorite and the metasediments. Porphyry molybdenum mineralization is also associated with the intrusions.
Scattered occurrences of chalcopyrite and galena occur throughout an area with an approximate radius of 0.75 kilometres around Zone C.
Zone A is an altered contact between silicified meta-argillite and granodiorite. The zone trends southeast, is approximately 25 metres in length and 1 metre in width. Zone B is similar to Zone A, but the granodiorite hosts minor magnetite. Zone C is hosted entirely by argillite and shale which strike southwest and dip 20 to 60 degrees northwest. Two sheared and altered zones are present but lack continuity.
In 1985, one of the best samples collected from a silicified shear contact near Zone A assayed 23.5 grams per tonne gold and 115 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 14938).
In 2007, Electrum Resource Corporation carried out a field program of verifying previous geological mapping, prospecting and sampling on their Tut property which covers the Quin (094D 073) and Squingula showings.
