The Golden 1 showing outcrops on the steep west-facing slope of the Summers Creek valley, 3.4 kilometres northeast of the summit of Missezula Mountain.

The area along Summers Creek is underlain by the Eastern volcanic facies of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group, comprising mafic, augite and hornblende porphyritic pyroclastics and flows, and associated alkaline intrusions.

Locally, a gossanous zone trends 160 degrees for up to 340 metres in a section of tuff and tuff breccia with minor lahar deposits and agglomerate of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group (Eastern Belt, Bulletin 69). The zone is up to 70 metres wide and gradually narrows to the southeast. Mineralization consists of malachite, bornite, chalcocite and chalcopyrite.

In 1981, two chip samples (26927 and 26928) yielded greater than 1 per cent copper with 16.5 and 20.0 grams per tonne silver over 0.6 and 1.2 metres, respectively (Assessment Report 9821, page 5).

Work History

In 1972, Vargas Mines completed a 29.5 line-kilometre ground magnetic survey on the area as the EJ claims. The following year, Calcio Silver Mines Ltd. completed a program of geological mapping and geochemical (rock and soil) sampling on the claims.

In 1981, Lornex Mining Corp. Ltd. completed a program of geological mapping, soil sampling and a ground magnetic survey on the area as the Golden claim.

In 2009, Orofino Minerals Inc. completed a 922.0 line-kilometre airborne magnetic and gamma-ray spectrometer survey on the area as part of the Allison Lake property. The following year, Orofino Minerals Inc. completed a program of prospecting, geological mapping, geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling and 57.0 line-kilometres of ground magnetic and induced polarization surveys on the Allison Lake property.

During 2012 through 2015, Colorado Resources Ltd. completed programs of geological mapping, geochemical (rock and soil) sampling and a 6.0 line-kilometre induced polarization survey on the area as the Hit-Aspen Grove property. In 2019, Richard Billingsley completed a program of prospecting, soil sampling and biogeochemical sampling on the area as the Sadim property.
