The Burn occurrence is located just west of Kitsumkalum Lake about 27 kilometres north of Terrace.

The Burn showing area is underlain by Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous sediments of the Bowser Lake Group comprised mainly of argillite, greywackes and conglomerates. Generally, the sediments strike west and dip 75 degrees to the north. Stocks comprised of granodiorite, diorite and quartz monzonite of the Late Cretaceous to Tertiary Coast Plutonic Complex intrude the Bowser Lake sediments. High grade gold-bearing quartz veins fringe the Allard stock near its contact with Bowser Lake Group country rocks. The stock consists of hornblende-biotite granodiorite to diorite. The Allard stock is also described as a composite pluton with an eastern syenitic phase.

Alteration in the granodioritic intrusive is directly related to the density of veining and shearing. The predominant type is propylitic with lesser silicification and epidote-hematite alteration.

Locally, mineralization consisting of epigenetic quartz veining with pyrite, chalcopyrite, tetrahedrite and galena with associated values in gold and silver occurs on the west shore of Kitsumkalum Lake. This vein-type mineralization is exposed on the Kalum Lake-Portland property (refer to Portland, 103I 019).

Similar mineralization occurs about 2.25 kilometres southwest of the main Portland showing. The area is underlain by granodiorite which shows intense propylitic alteration caused by a high density of quartz veining and shearing. The quartz veining hosts pyrite and chalcopyrite and a grab sample from a trench assayed up to 16.8 grams per tonne gold and 242.1 grams per tonne silver (Cavey and Chapman, 1987).

The history of Burn occurrence is linked to that of the Kalum ((103I 019) and the reader is referred to that MINFILE description for historical details prior to 2003.

By 2003, Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. had acquired the 500-unit Kalum property to cover the Allard stock, a 4 by 11 kilometre intrusion that has been mapped west of Kitsumkalum Lake. The Kalum property encompasses several historically documented occurrences referred to in the 2003 Assessment Report 27417: Kalum (103I 019), Burn (103I 211), Quartz Silver (103I 018), Allard (103I 151), Misty (103I 213), Chris (103I 174), Martin (103I 020) and Hat (103I 173). Several new discoveries were also described.

In 2004, Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. continued exploration for an intrusion-related gold deposit on its Kalum property. The program comprised a 1500 line kilometre airborne geophysical survey, on-the-ground evaluation of targets and the drilling of 19 holes, totalling 1958 metres. The geophysical survey recovered magnetic and time-domain electromagnetic data.

In 2005, Eagle Plains Resources completed a program of soil, silt and rock sampling and geological mapping on the area.

In 2007, Mountain Capital Inc. optioned the property and in 2008 undertook a program of soil and rock sampling, a 4.1 line-kilometre induced polarization survey and 11 diamond drill holes, totalling 1390 metres, on the Burn occurrence area. The option was terminated in May of 2009. This work indicated that the granodiorite “stock” that was the focus of exploration was a sill-like thrust emplaced mass overlying a sequence of argillite and greywacke. Weak but pervasive gold mineralization was reported associated with pyritic quartz stringers and veinlets in the granodiorite. Diamond drilling yielded intercepts of 0.973 gram per tonne gold over 10.55 metres, including 28.700 grams per tonne gold over 0.30 metre in hole KKM08-01, 59.600 grams per tonne gold over 0.15 metre in hole KKM08-02, 11.950 grams per tonne gold over 2.30 metres in hole KKM08-03 and 5.410 grams per tonne gold over 0.20 metre in hole KKM08-05 (Murton, J.W. (2009-11-20): 2009 Exploration and Geological Report for the Kalum Property).

In 2009, Windstorm Resources Inc. entered into a Letter of Intent with Eagle Plains to earn a 60 per cent interest in the property and completed a program of prospecting, geochemical sampling and an induced polarization survey on the area. Rock samples (H148007) are reported to have yielded from 0.250 to 0.994 gram per tonne gold (Murton, J.W. (2009-11-20): 2009 Exploration and Geological Report for the Kalum Property).

In 2010, a program of geological mapping and six diamond drill holes, totalling 419.11 metres, were completed on the Tuppie-Cirque (MINFILE 103I 228) occurrence.

In early 2012, Clemson Resources Corp. entered into an Option Agreement with Eagle Plains Resources to acquire a 60 per cent interest in the property.

In 2019, Gold Fountain Resources Inc. undertook a program of rock, soil and silt sampling several kilometres west of the Burn prospect, resulting in the discovery of two new gold showings (Poznan and Opole) on their Kalum Gold property (Assessment Report 38630).
