The Todd Creek (North Zone East) showing is located 200 metres west of Todd Creek and 300 metres north of Fall Creek. Fall Creek is a tributary of Todd Creek that lies about 15 kilometres south of the confluence of Todd Creek with the Bowser River. The showing is about 550 metres east-northeast of the Todd Creek (North Zone) (104A 106).
The area is underlain by Hazelton Group rocks of the Lower Jurassic Unuk River Formation (Bulletin 63). The rocks comprise green flows, agglomerates/flow breccias and tuffs and purple, green to buff fragmental flows and flow breccias. The andesite and andesite-dacite units commonly exhibit propylitic alteration comprising variable chlorite, carbonate, sericite and 2 to 5 per cent disseminated pyrite. The contact between the andesite and andesite-dacite units trends north-northwest and dips vertically. The volcanics are intruded by narrow, coeval(?) fine grained mafic dikes. A feldspar porphyry intrusion(?) is exposed near the showing. East-trending shearing is locally conspicuous and jointing is well developed in the andesites.
Mineralization consists of a west-northwest trending barite-quartz-galena vein that cuts the feldspar porphyry body. Grab(?) samples, collected in 1986, assayed up to 12.0 per cent lead, 6.2 per cent zinc and 39.3 grams per tonne silver; copper and gold values were negligible (Assessment Report 15988).
In 1986, Noranda Exploration Company Limited staked the Toc 1-12 claims to cover showings in the Todd Creek area. That year, Noranda carried out mapping, reconnaissance prospecting and silt sampling in the area. This showing, on the Toc 8 claim, was discovered at the same time. In 1997, Island-Arc Resources Corp. optioned the property. Refer to Todd Creek-South zone (104A 001) for a detailed work history of the Todd Creek property area showings.
