The P showing is exposed in a pit on the east bank of Allison Creek near Highway 5, immediately south of the south end of Borgeson Lake.
Regionally, the area along the Allison Creek valley is underlain mostly by biotite hornblende granite and quartz monzonite of the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Allison Lake pluton. More mafic phases, comprised of granodiorite, diorite and gabbro, are occasionally present within and along the periphery of the intrusion. The north-trending contact with Upper Triassic Nicola Group andesite and basalt lies east of the valley and comes to within a kilometre east of Allison Lake. The pluton is traversed along the east side of the valley by the north-striking Allison fault.
Locally, minor amounts of chalcopyrite and pyrite occur along fractures in biotite hornblende granite and quartz monzonite of the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Allison Lake pluton.
Work History
In 1972, Northwind Mines Ltd. completed a program of prospecting, geological mapping and soil sampling on the area as the J and P claims.
In 1980, Nufort Resources Inc. soil sampled the area as the Dry and Lake claims. In 1982, the area immediately east of the occurrence was prospected and sampled by Gerald McIlhargey as the Rush claim.
In 1990, Norsemont Mining Co. Ltd. completed a program of soil sampling and a 26.0 line-kilometre ground electromagnetic survey on the area as the Dry claims.
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.
