Capsule Geology

The Milkideal occurrence is located on Pyrrhotite Creek, approximately 2.5 kilometres northeast of Pyrrhotite Lake.

The area has been mapped as Karmutsen Formation of the Upper Triassic Vancouver Group. These rocks consist of amygdaloidal basalts, pillow basalts, pillow breccia, minor tuff and volcanic breccia.

Although reports do not describe the characteristics of the occurrence, several samples taken at the site assayed high in gold. The best assay revealed a sample content of 2.91 grams per tonne gold, 46.97 grams per tonne silver and 0.55 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 16406).

In 2012, a float sample (164630) assayed 2.09 grams per tonne gold (Kikauka, A. (2012-07-03): NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Harmony Property).

In 2020, three rock samples (907464, 907465 and 907471) taken from an area located approximately 700 metres northeast of the plotted location of the Milkideal occurrence, yielded from 0.203 to 0.223 per cent copper with up to 0.245 gram per tonne gold (Strickland, D. [2021-03-05]: NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Isla Property Nanaimo Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada).

Work History

During 1986 through 1993, Westmin Resources completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping, geochemical sampling and airborne and ground geophysical surveys on the area as the Ideal 1-9 and Harmony claims.

In 2012, Altamont Exploration completed a program of geological mapping and rock, silt and soil sampling. In 2016, Whitewater Capitol Corp. completed a program of geochemical (rock, soil and stream sediment) sampling on the area.

In 2020, Blanton Resources Corp. completed a program of prospecting, geological mapping and geochemical (rock, soil and stream sediment) sampling on the area as the Isla property.
