The Peachland Creek showing is 900 metres north of Peachland Creek and 5.6 kilometres east-southeast of the summit of Pennask Mountain.
The area is underlain by clastic sedimentary rocks and basaltic volcanic rocks of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group that have been intruded by granodioritic rocks of the Lower Jurassic Brenda stock of the Pennask Batholith.
Locally, an outcrop of mafic tuff of the Upper Triassic Peachland Creek Formation (Nicola Group) is mineralized with sphalerite, galena and pyrite.
Approximately 650 metres northwest of the previous zone an argillite hosts shattered quartz veins, up to 30 centimetres in width, with pyrite.
In 1996, a grab sample (P96-R13) assayed 2.90 grams per tonne gold and 16.9 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 25043).
Work History
The area was originally explored in the 1960s for copper-molybdenum mineralization similar to that of the Brenda (MINFILE 092HNE047) deposit to the east.
During 1986 through 1990, Fairfield Minerals Ltd. completed prospecting in the area and subsequently staked the claims in 1990. During 1991 through 1996, Fairfield Minerals Ltd. conducted programs of prospecting, geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling and minor trenching on the area as the Pen claims.
During 2006 through 2012, Bitterroot Resources completed programs of rock, silt and soil sampling, geological mapping, trenching, 147.6 line-kilometres of ground magnetic surveys and a 66.2 line-kilometre ground induced polarization survey on the area immediately north of the occurrence as the North Brenda property.
Also in 2012, the area was prospected and rock sampled by B. Kreft as the Brenda SE claim.
In 2016, Gorilla Minerals Corp. completed a soil and rock sampling program on the area as the New Brenda property. In 2018, Flow Metals Corp. completed a program of geological mapping, spectral and structural analysis and rock sampling on the New Brenda property. The following year, a program of geochemical (rock and soil) sampling, structural analysis and minor trenching was completed on the property.
