The Gang copper occurrence is provisionally located in the centre of the Gang group of claims, approximately 1 kilometre west of Racing River and 3 kilometres south-southwest of the mouth of Wokkpash Creek in the Muskwa Ranges of the Northern Rocky Mountains (Assessment Report 1042, Figure 2).
The occurrence is in an area of folding and complicated thrust faulting, immediately west of the Sentinel thrust, in a major, north-northwest–trending structural region known as the Muskwa Anticlinorium. The area is underlain by rocks ranging from the Middle Proterozoic Tuchodi Formation, part of the Helikian Muskwa Assemblage, and unconformably overlying Silurian and Devonian sedimentary rock units (Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 373, Map 1343A; Geological Society of America, Geology of North America, Volume G-2, pages 111, 639). All belong to Ancestral North America (Geological Survey of Canada Map 1713A).
Locally, a copper occurrence is reported. No geological description is available other than the group of claims lie near a transcurrent fault.
Work History
In 1966, Racing River Mines Ltd. completed a program of geological mapping and a ground electromagnetic survey on the area as the Billy, Kid, Nanny and Sam claims.
In 2005, Twenty-Seven Capital Corp. completed a regionally extensive program of geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling and a 9002.0 line-kilometre airborne magnetic survey on the area as the Muskwa property (Assessment Report 28281).
