Late Devonian intrusive rocks of the McLymont Plutonic Suite form a large mass on the southeast of the Newmont fault. The fault is the southeast bounding fault of the McLymont graben. The North Ridge showing occurs about 2 kilometres southeast of the fault.

Several mineralized occurrences of quartz and pyrite plus/minus carbonate vein and/or shear material were identified. Both float and in situ samples were collected with several pieces of float usually noted indicating a local source. Host rocks appear to be predominantly intrusive in composition. A sample from this zone assayed 0.08 per cent copper 28.0 grams per tonne silver and 7.34 grams per tonne gold (sample 31880, Assessment Report 21006)

Work History

The Kerr 1-4 claims were staked in late October 1987 by Pamicon Developments Ltd who followed up in 1988 with a small assessment work program. No previous work or mineral occurrences were known at the time. A total of 21 man-days were spent prospecting the claims and an additional 32 units were staked. Minimal work was done in 1989 by Pamicon. In 1990, Consolidated Caprock Resources Ltd conducted a prospecting and sampling program, collecting a total of 524 rock chip samples and 269 soil samples on the Kerr 1-6 claims; 14.7 kilometres of ground magnetics and VLF-EM were also completed.

In 2019, the North Ridge occurrence was minimally explored. A single mineralized, 2-centimetre-wide quartz vein with a chlorite halo was sampled. Pyrite and chalcopyrite were present within the quartz vein, while nearby fracture surfaces display malachite. A sample graded 0.24 gram per tonne gold, 1.13 grams per tonne silver, 0.66 per cent copper (Sample B0003709, Assessment Report 39128).

See Northwest (104B 281) for details of work after the amalgamation of tenures by Romios Gold Resources Inc in the 2000s, when airborne geophysics was done over significant land areas and site-specific work on various showings.
