The Bee Peak showings are located 30 kilometres west of Atlin, south of Bee Lake. There are several other showings on the Golden Bee property (104M 078 to 080).

The Bee Peak area is underlain by sediments of the Lower Jurassic Inklin Formation of the Laberge Group. These comprise greywacke, argillite, shale and conglomerate intruded by granite near Bee Peak. The Llewellyn fault is 2 kilometres to the west and separates these rocks from Nisling Assemblage rocks. To the east, the Nahlin fault separates the rocks from the Cache Creek Group. The area of the showing contains splays from these major faults. The bedding generally trends north to northwest dipping gently east. Bee Peak represents a volcanic plug and several dikes crosscut the sediments and intrusives.

The claims cover an area of pyrrhotite hornfels with orange-brown oxidation. The most abundant mineralization is pyrite and pyrrhotite ranging from 1 to 10 per cent throughout the claims.

About 80 metres west of Bee Peak, a zone in a carbonate felsic dike, in a orange-brown recessive zone, contains minor mariposite and 2 per cent sulphides. This zone is about 4 metres wide and trends north.

A shear zone, up to 5 metres wide, occurs 100 metres west of Bee Peak. Samples from the zone, in a carbonate altered breccia, assayed up to 0.373 gram per tonne gold in 1989 (Assessment Report 19630) but subsequent sampling failed to duplicate this value (Assessment Report 21011).

Work History

The Golden Bee group of claims were staked by Golden Bee Minerals in 1989. Golden Bee Minerals conducted a program of sampling, mapping, prospecting and geochemical surveys in 1989 and 1990. Some mapping is shown in the Bee Peak area. That company reported the presence on their claims of “…wide spread epithermal to hydrothermal gold-silver mineralization.” and the discovery of two new zones. One, in the Bee Peak area, returned gave metal values in soil samples. Over their entire property, Golden Bee collected 90 rock and 229 soil samples.

In 2008, a helicopter assisted magnetic survey was carried out on the Bee Peak Property owned by Kushi Resources Inc. At least nine lineations are apparent within the survey area as shown on the contour map. Two of these are lineations of magnetic highs and are probably caused by mafic intrusions. One strikes northwesterly and the second one strikes almost due north.
