The Kinskuch Claim 5 showing is located near the western shore of Kinskuch Lake, 23 kilometres north of Alice Arm, about 47 kilometres southeast of Stewart.
Mapping on the property outlined a mixed assemblage dominated by fresh massive andesitic tuffs of the Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group. The tuffs are generally fine grained with some sections coarsening to lapilli size. The tuffs are interbedded with various tuffaceous sediments, siltstones and minor limestone. The sediments generally form subdued rubble outcrops with little evidence of bedding in place. The limestone weathers a dark rusty brown colour which causes the outcrops to be mistaken for gossans from a distance.
Quartz veining is evident in several places, usually in minor amounts. In an area near the shore of Kinskuch Lake, a narrow quartz vein was exposed for a few metres with a width averaging about 4 or 5 centimetres. It is irregularly mineralized with arsenopyrite and probable allmontite (antimonial arsenic) with abundant arsenic bloom. The vein contains some open spaces in which the botryoidal allmontite is developed. A rock sample of this material (33640) assayed 16.1 grams per tonne gold, 2.2 per cent antimony, 1.4 per cent arsenic, 15.2 grams per tonne silver and 5.2 per cent mercury (Assessment Report 20043). Small in situ occurrences and areas of quartz rubble float may indicate the presence of other small veins. The area in which these small veins are found is weakly propylitically altered and weathers to a rusty soil.
In 1989, Dolly Varden Minerals Inc. carried out a program of reconnaissance geological mapping, prospecting, limited pan concentrate silt sampling and rock sampling.
