The Ridge showing is located about 3 kilometres north of Outram Lake, 22 kilometres south-southeast (170°) of Stewart,B.C. The N Zone occurrence (Minfile 103P 248) is about 1.7 kilometres northeast of this showing.
The Ridge zone is a large, gossanous area approximately 150 by 150 metres. The protolith consists of intermediate tuffs, flows and flow breccia of the Lower-Middle Jurassic Hazelton Group. The zone appears to be a 'shatter' zone of randomly oriented fractures situated in an area of numerous 030 degree trending brittle faults. The faults tend to be very narrow (less than 2 metres) but wider zones of closely-spaced fractures are associated with the faulting. Mineralization is concentrated along fractures and is composed of pyrite, pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite and minor sphalerite and galena. Massive sulphide lenses within the fractures have been mapped and appear to have very limited extent (less than 5 metres) and are typically very narrow (less than 20 centimetres). A rock sample (460053) analysed 1.67 grams per tonne gold and 4.7 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 23217).
In 2006, an isolated sample (336573) collected about 1100 metres west of the Ridge zone yielded 121.5 grams per tonne gold and 13.4 grams per tonne silver. The sample was from a narrow (~10 centimetres) moderately southeast dipping quartz vein with only a few metres strike length.
Prior to 1990, there has been no exploration work recorded in the property area. In 1990, Tenajon Resources Ltd. undertook a program of prospecting, geological mapping and rock saw channel sampling in selected areas of the property. They reported the discovery of bedded exhalative-style zinc-lead-copper sulphides and sulphide-bearing quartz vein stockworks at the N zone (103P 248). Two kilometres to the south of the N zone, Tenajon found more semi-massive sulphide mineralization near the volcanic-sedimentary contact at the Tat zone (103P 247). In August and September of 1993, Aquaterre Mineral Development Ltd. completed an initial field exploration program consisting of geological mapping, prospecting, soil, stream silt and rock geochemical sampling on the Ashwood project; the Ridge zone was discovered during this work. In 1994, Aquaterre undertook a major field program consisting of an airborne geophysical survey, soil and rock geochemical surveys, geological surveys and seven diamond-drill holes totalling 1024 metres of BQ core. In 2006, an exploration program consisting of geological mapping, prospecting, and geochemical rock and soil sampling was conducted by Mineral Hill Industries Ltd. on their Praxis property which covers the mineralized zones.
