The area of the Spapilem Gold100 showing includes the contact between the Cretaceous Baldy Batholith, the Mississippian Eagle Bay Assemblage and the Devonian orthogneiss and paragneiss units.
The Baldy Batholith is a massive granite and granodiorite intrusion. The Eagle Bay Assemblage is a low metamorphic grade metasedimentary and metavolcanic rock unit with micaceous quartzite, grit, phyllite and quartz mica schist.
The Spapilem Gold100 showing is a quartz vein with magnetite in the Spapilem Creek area of British Columbia. This vein returned an assay of 3.4 grams per tonne Au. The host granite with quartz and magnetite returned assays of 2.60 grams per tonne Au, 25 parts per million As, 6.74 per cent Fe, 1.04 per cent S, and 10 parts per million W. Soils in the area ru up to 4565 parts per billion Au, 20 parts per million As, and 3 parts per million Mo (Assessment Report 32076).
In 2007, work completed by Dave Piggin included prospecting and hand trenching totalling 10 stream sediments, 74 rock samples, and 5 moss mats. Discoveries included new quartz-magnetite veins with gold values.
In 2010, Dave Piggin completed a prospecting program on the occurrence including stream sediments, moss mats, and rock samples.
In 2011 to 2012, Astral Mining completed an exploration program on the entire property containing the occurrence. The program included soil sampling, and completed a 901-line kilometre magnetic and EM survey.
