The Golden 3 showing is 2.7 kilometres east of Summers Creek and 3.1 kilometres north-northeast of the north end of Rampart Lake.

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 small fracture-controlled occurrence of malachite, chalcopyrite and bornite is hosted in augite porphyritic andesite and agglomerate of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group (Eastern Belt, Bulletin 69). Magnetite and traces of pyrite occur in the vicinity of the showing.

Work History

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.
